Although the party was yet to formally announce its withdrawal, PREMIUM TIMES gathered that it stemmed from a consultative meeting held among its leaders and aspirants recently on the state of the preparations for the election. “To participate is to help massage Mimiko’s ego, support illegality and to allow ourselves to be distracted from our singular mission of wresting power from the PDP in a few months’ time.”
The Publicity Secretary of the PDP in Ondo State, Zadok Akintoye, told PREMIUM TIMES on Friday in Akure that a formal statement would be issued on Monday on the position of the party regarding the election.He said ODIEC had not complied fully with the electoral law and such would affect the participation and chances of the opposition PDP in the election.
“We want to look before we leap,” said Mr Felix. “We want to make sure we are. It jumping into troubled waters.”
