Senate President Bukola Saraki will be leading eminent members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) campaigns council for the September 22, 2018 Osun governorship election.
The campaign council was inaugurated at the PDP National headquarters in Abuja by the party’s chairman, Uche Secondus.
Saraki called on President Buhari to use Osun state as an example of the free and fair election which he promised in 2019.
PDP warns
Secondus also warned that the PDP will not allow what happened in Ekiti to take place in Osun state.
The PDP chairman also alleged that some corrupt people have come together to fund President Buhari’s campaign so he will protect them.
According to Daily Post, he said “Enough is enough, PDP will not tolerate Osun being rigged like Ekiti, we have a popular candidate and the performance of the APC ruling government has been awful with months of salaries owned to workers.
“We are aware that the electoral commission that is supposed to operate as an unbiased umpire in the conduct of elections has suddenly made itself a parastatal of the federal government, conniving with APC and security agencies to exchange results.
“Even security agencies whose allegiance should be to the constitution and people of Nigeria have allowed itself to behave as if they are operatives of the ruling APC.
“We decided to set up this high powered committee to demonstrate the importance we attach to this election, all our Presidential aspirants and some state governors are members plus all other critical stakeholders from South West and other parts of the country.”
Meanwhile, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Monday, September 3, 2018, revealed that it is working on secret ballotingto curb vote-buying in the Osun state governorship election scheduled for September 22, 2018.
