The Director General, All Progressive Congress, APC Kogi Governorship Campaign Council, Senator Smart Adeyemi has advised the main opposition party in the state, Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP) to concede defeat following their alleged inability to commence campaign.
Speaking with newsmen senator Adeyemi said the deafening silence in the camp of PDP meant that either they don’t have any message to the people or planning mayhem during the election or better still it could mean that they simply have no means to embark on campaign.
He noted that as a result of their failure, they should just concede defeat and join Governor Bello in the task of rebuilding the state chattered by their 17 years of their misrule.
He said that they may also be afraid of the likely outcome of the litigation arising from the Inconclusive’ primary that produced Engr. Musa Wada as the Party’s flag bearer.
According to him,”Campaign has officially started but we can’t find them anywhere, no bill board, no poster ,no mobilisation of any kind by PDP.it is either they have hidden agenda, planning mayhem or they don’t just have anything to say to the people.
“They may also be ashamed of their past misgovernance of over 17 years. Help us to look for them or advice them to withdraw from the race.
He said APC have started mobilising the peopke because it has a lot to tell the people. He gave the itenery of APC campaign programme which he said will commence in earnest.
“As, for APC, we 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 indegens of the state and present our achievement in the last four year and programmes for the future ” he said.
He said that APC will make the campaign ‘issue based’ devoid of violence of any form.
He however warned the opposition to call their members to order,avoid violence because Governor Bello ,APC candidate abhors violence of any kind.
However in a swift reaction,the State Publicity Secretary of PDP,Bode Ogunmola said that PDP is at the grass root moving from house to house.
