The Acting National Chairman of the Peoples Democracy Party (PDP), Umar Damagum, on Thursday urged the party supporters in Ondo State not to yield to intimidation during Saturday’s governorship election in the state.
Damagum made the call during the final campaign rally for the party’s governorship candidate, Mr. Agboola Ajayi, in Akure.
He asked the party’s supporters and electorate to cast their votes for the party and defend their votes till the final collation.
The PDP chairman said Saturday would be a day to decide the fate of the state through the ballot and, urged the people of the state to “drive the All Progressives Congress (APC) away from government” with their votes.
According to him, Ondo State recorded several achievements when PDP ruled the state.
Damagum insisted that the APC-led government in the state was bereft of ideas, making the state lag in developmental strides.
In his remark, the Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, said the party was united and asked the people of Ondo to vote out APC on Saturday.
Mohammed added that the state was known for the acquisition of knowledge and “should not be ruled by a nonentity.”
The Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, asked the party’s supporters to go back to the grassroots and mobilise for more support for the party.
Others at the rally were Governors Ademola Adeleke (Osun), Ahmadu Fintiri (Adamawa), Diri Duoye (Bayelsa), Caleb Muftwang (Plateau) and Senator Abiodun Olukemi.
The rest were – the Chairman of the PDP Governorship Campaign Council in the state, Dr. Eddy Olafeso, and the Director-General of the Campaign Council, Mr. Clement Faboyede.
