PDP Chairman, Prince Uche Secondus, has said PDP will retrieve the presidential mandate from current President, Muhammadu Buhari.
He revealed that the mandate APC think they have is a stolen property that INEC handed over to them.
He continued by saying the mandate was freely given to Atiku Abubakar and that no state where PDP is leading ahead of the forthcoming March 23 supplementary election will be won by APC.
His words, “Elections are about the will of the people. When you force yourself on the people; that is not democracy. Today, Nigerians are unhappy with the way elections were rigged without allowing the will of the people to prevail.”
“We are upbeat as Sokoto State has never been this mobilised. People are praying and fasting by themselves and they are ready once again to ensure that their will is not subverted.
“What happened in the last elections was unimaginable as security agents took over the state. Ballot papers were found with APC members on the streets. The staff of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission stormed the residences of our members, harassing and intimidating them.
“Even on the day of the election, they were going round the polling units and picking up our members. There was open rigging in about six of the Local Government Areas.
“They brought their federal might to bear but the will of the people prevailed against them and we won, yet they declared the election inconclusive.
“So, in Sokoto, they have the will of the people to contend with and given the prayers that our people are offering every day and their decision to checkmate the rigging of APC, victory is sure to be for us and the PDP.”
