Ondo Gov’ship Election, a Sham – PDP

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has described the governorship election in Ondo State as a sham.

The main opposition party said it is the worst election conducted by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Nigeria.

Debo Ologunagba, National Publicity Secretary of the party in a statement said the November 16, 2024 Governorship election in Ondo State ra ln short of all expectations and requirements of a free, fair and credible election as it witnessed the height of electoral swindle, deceit and manipulation by the All Progressives Congress (APC).

“This election witnessed widespread election merchandising, monetization and barefaced vote buying by the APC and its apparatus in government to suppress the genuine aspiration of the people.”

• Ondo Victory: Plot to capture Oyo, Osun on course – Ganduje

“This devious practice by the APC was rampant and pervasive because the APC have utterly impoverished Nigerians and turned poverty into a weapon of mass subjugation which enabled it to manipulate the election and its outcome.

“We call the attention of all Nigerians and the International Community to this reprehensible practice by the APC as widely witnessed in the November 16, 2024 Governorship election in Ondo State and we demand that a serious action be taken to stem such if Nigeria’s democracy must survive.”

The PDP also said in the meantime, the” National Working Committee (NWC) of the PDP will be having a more detailed review of the election and its outcome and take appropriate action in the defence of our Democracy.”
