Based on the degree of public acceptance it enjoys, the Peoples Democratic Party, or PDP, has declared that it will win the November 11 governorship elections in the states of Imo, Bayelsa, and Kogi.
At the launch of the PDP’s National Campaign Council for the elections in the three states, Umar Damagum, the party’s acting national chairman, announced this in Abuja.
Damagum asked council members to follow the law in order to win the three states, which he referred to as PDP strongholds.
He said,
“What’s expected of you is to go there and remind them that this isn’t what we bargained for, and that there’s a time God in his infinite mercy, always gives us to change the course of history, and this is the time.
“We’ll have Bayelsa, we’ll have Imo and we’ll have Kogi. These are PDP states. Somehow, they slipped away but Bayelsa has always had a PDP governor.”
Also speaking, Osun State governor Ademola Adeleke, who is also the chairman of the Kogi State campaign team, expressed confidence in the PDP’s ability to win the governorship election in the three states.
According to Adeleke, the chances of the party in Imo, Bayelsa and Kogi are ‘very great.’
