The APC Campaign Council for Kogi governorship election has said the deafening silence from the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) ahead of the November 16 governorship election is a clear indication that the opposition does not have what it takes to win the election.
Accordingly, the council has advised the PDP to concede defeat following their inability to commence campaign, stressing that with their failure to commence campaign they should just concede defeat and join Governor Bello in the task of rebuilding the state shattered by 17 years of their misrule.
The Director General, Bello/Onoja campaign organisation, Senator Smart Adeyemi, said the camp of the PDP is either planning mayhem during the election, lost trust in their candidate or they don’t have any message to the people.
The campaign council further mocked the PDP alleging that not being able to kick-start its campaign barely weeks to the governorship poll seems to suggest that they have no means to embark on campaign.
“The main opposition party should announce their withdrawal so that we can know the number of candidates left for the election. We need them to trade issues with us in the campaign but they are nowhere.
“We want them to be on the political theater so that we can dance with them. They have no billboards, posters, no media coverage and their party members in drove are decamping to the APC with no single person leaving the APC for their party.
“the PDP should throw in the towel and withdraw so as to save time and resources of Nigeria, Kogi in particular,” Adeyemi said and join Governor Bello in the task of rebuilding the state.
Senator Adeyemi, there was need to rebuild Kogi state after 17 years of PDP misrule, stressing Gov Bello was doing excellent job of building the confluence state.
Sounding very optimistic of victory, Senator Adeyemi boasted that the APC will defeat the PDP in the election, noting that all indices pointed to that direction.
“As for APC, e are hitting the ground running in terms of campaigns to all the nook and crannies of the state and even beyond to other states including Lagos and Abuja and the North to sensitise indigenes of the state and present our achievements in the last four year and the programmes for the future.
“We shall consume and subsume the PDP without violence; we also beg the opposition not to think of violence.
“APC will not leave any stone unturned, we will work hard to engage the PDP on issues and confront then with achievement, and let them see the maladministration they left behind in their 17 years of misrule; both in human and natural resources.
“The people of the state can see beyond the deceit of the PDP and the year of locust of their rule which Governor Bello is gradually recovering the state from.”
