The opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has expressed its certainty about winning the upcoming governorship elections in Imo, Bayelsa and Kogi States.
The acting National Chairman of the party, Umar Damagum, made the comment in Abuja at the inauguration of the PDP’s National Campaign Council for the election in the three states.
Damagum challenged the new council members to work within the law to win in all three states, which he declared PDP strongholds.
His words: “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 at the event, Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State, also the Kogi State campaign team chairman, expressed confidence in the party’s ability to win the governorship election in the three states.
According to Adeleke, the party’s chances in Imo, Bayelsa and Kogi are ‘very great.’
