The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has expressed confidence that it will be difficult for the All Progressives Congress (APC) to win the forthcoming governorship elections in Edo and Ondo states.
Acting National Chairman Umar Damagum made this assertion while inaugurating the PDP National Campaign Councils for the Edo and Ondo governorship elections on Thursday in Abuja.
Damagum pointed to the process by which the candidates emerged as a clear indication of the party’s strength and potential for victory in the elections.
“We will not sit down and allow anybody to search, grab, and steal. We will be battle-ready for any thief that rears his head to steal our fortune,” Damagum asserted.
He praised Edo State Governor Godwin Obaseki for laying a solid foundation for the party’s success in the state election.
“We have done so well in Edo State. We thank the governor. We are very proud of him. Our records in that state speak volumes.
So, to those that think they will take Edo, I want to tell them that it is going to be very difficult for them because we are in a democratic dispensation,” he said.
Regarding Ondo, Damagum stated that the state is ready for a PDP victory and urged the people to view the forthcoming election as an opportunity for change that will benefit them.
