The Peoples Democratic Party National and State Assembly candidates in Ekiti State have urged the party's presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, to dissolve his campaign council in the state to pave way for stakeholders' input for an effective outcome.
The PDP flagbearers said, “We, as PDP candidates are meant to serve as foot soldiers to ensure success for the party in the presidential election as well as our own elections. Also, like your good self, the candidates are the strength of the party in this coming election, but as it is, the strength of your campaign is being entrusted in the hands of SDP”.
They said it was not workable for SDP members to campaign for PDP senatorial and House of Reps candidates when their party was also fielding candidates for the same positions. “The SDP National Assembly candidates are relying on fund from the PDP to prosecute their elections thus putting our chances in jeopardy.
“While we wish you as well as ourselves success in the coming general elections, we wish to call your attention to that fact that as of today, the Campaign Council in Ekiti State is populated by SDP and people who did not win their polling units in the last governorship election. “Some of the candidates of the same SDP are also in close alliance with the All Progressives Congress with a view to also getting funds and dividing PDP votes so as to ensure victory for the APC National Assembly candidates,” the candidates said.All rights reserved.
