PDP’ll win Edo guber, retain 6 South South states –Ogidi
National Vice Chairman, South South of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Emmanuel Ogidi, yesterday, said the party will work hard to win Edo State in September 19 governorship election to keep the six states in the South South in its fold.
Addressing journalists shortly after a stakeholders’ meeting in Benin, Ogidi said he has not been happy that the party was yet to take over Edo since he became the zonal vice chairman of PDP.
“Each time I went to any of the states, I kept saying I am not complete. It is like a man looking for a wife, until you marry, you are not complete. Until we have Edo, we cannot proudly say we are complete.
“Although, we have five of the six states in the South South zone and our five governors are doing well, but we need Edo to do well too.
“There is every need for PDP to take over Edo State.
“All Progressives Congress (APC) has failed this country. It is so unfortunate. APC leaders and members are very good liars. We know the economy is bad, but somebody is saying the school children at home, they want to feed them. When they were in school, you could not feed them.
“Herdsmen have taken over our bushes, killing innocent people. They promised that as soon as Muhammadu Buhari comes to power, Boko Haram menace would be a thing of the past.
“Can you believe that Chad will join Nigeria to fight Boko Haram? So, there is every reason for PDP to take over government,” he said.
According to him, APC came to power just to push out PDP, adding that the party was not structured to win elections.
“You can see how they are fighting. Unfortunately for us in PDP, we do not know how to be violent. If we were violent, we would have taken over power in Edo State. Let us be courageous and to always remember what they did to us in Bayelsa State.
“It was God that gave us the mandate. They tried to kill all of us. You saw what happened in Kogi State, where they had to use aircraft. APC members are very violent people.
“We are going to do everything within God’s laid-down rules. Power belongs to God. We must open our eyes, because they are going to be violent, but we pray that God will touch their hearts. Look at what they are doing to themselves now in Edo State, especially the violence. If they can do it to themselves, let us watch out. In PDP, we do not use arms, because we have the people with us. We will harvest more people from APC to increase our number and win the election. By the grace of God, we are going to win the election,” he said.
