The Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP) on Monday in Abuja urged its campaign committee to do everything within the law to win the Sept. 22 governorship election in Osun.

National Chairman of the party, Mr Uche Secondus, gave the charge when he inaugurated the party’s National Campaign Committee for the election.

The committee has President of the Senate, Dr Bukola Saraki, as chairman.

Secondus said that members of the committee were carefully nominated because of the importance of Osun to the PDP.

He said that PDP believed that its candidate was the best for the state, and assured that it would not allow itself to be rigged out in the election.

“We will not allow vote-buying in Osun because that is rigging and rigging is corruption.

“I believe that the international community is watching and all eyes are on this nation,’’ he said.

Secondus advised security agencies not to allow themselves to be used, reminding them that they had sworn to uphold the Constitution, not an individual or politician.

He urged them to be loyal to Nigerians, the Constitution and the electoral process and law.

He also called on all stakeholders to rise and condemn rigging, vote-buying and intimidation in elections by security agencies.

Secondus said that the committee had the responsibility to augment all activities of campaign and reach out to all the critical stakeholders.

“It should mobilise all our people in all the local government areas of Osun, and to do everything necessary within the law for us to win the state.’’

In his response, Saraki promised that the committee would ensure that the PDP wins the Osun poll.

He said that the election was important because PDP had lost two governorship elections in the South-West – Ekiti and Ondo.

“We must win Osun to prove that Osun is the home ground of the PDP. This is a state where salaries are not being paid,’’ he said.

Saraki said that winning the Osun poll was not just about the state but to also serve as a momentum for the 2019 general elections.

He expressed hope that President Muhammadu Buhari would live up to his promise to world leaders that the 2019 elections would be free and fair.

According to him, the issue of free and fair elections is important as Nigeria’s reputation was at stake, with the crude use of force by security agencies during elections.

APC wil buy votes. Osun electorate are already broke. dey deliberately pauperised d population so as 2buy their votes

If only Osun state were in yannnmiri quarters.

But no, so?

No way, PDP is dead in the west.

If PDP does not change its chairman, they will always be coming second in elections that matters .

Osun state is not a club house where dancers take the glory. The dancing senator is a clown that won't be tolerated in Osun.


PDP never again.

apc wil buy votes. osun are already broke

No, they don't have to.
You see, vote buying and the noisy atmosphere generated by Ekiti election happened because of the political actors, mainly Fayose.
The APC responded to Fayose's stomach infrastructure and vote buying tactics by coming up with "See and buy" to counter Fayose.

We didn't hear much of this in Anambra, Ondo and Edo elections. Same thing will happen in Osun.

Fayose and Wike are the reasons for vote buying and killings in Ekiti and Rivers respectively, which caused the opposition to respond in similar fashions.

Regarding Osun election, the opposition are too disunited and will split their votes giving the APC an easy victory.

Lolz

Let the best candidate win.

Meanwhile.
Abia North 2019

The way things are playing out,
Pdp are only sure of Enugu state.

Not with Omisore

A party like APC that owed workers over 32 months half salaries cannot be re elected except the elections are massively rigged.

PDP won't win as long as tinubu and federal migh is involved.

pdp will take over osun state this time coz they are tired of apc rule..

Vote for sale? Highest bidder.

wman:
Not with Omisore

Omisore is not in Pdp - Sdp for information

When Saraki is stoned out of Osun, You will get the message.
Dream that can't come true .

Imole de okunkun parada ni ipinle osun.

You have a right to formulate stories that interest you.

But the truth is that PDP can "NEVER" win in Osun

If there is no credible candidate running on the platforms of the two major opposing names called APC and PDP, the election is just a waste of time.

The Body is PDP but the spirit is APC almost always in all states, so the so called masses should take the money, it is important that you take the money, but vote who ever your intuition guides you to.

APC has produced a great Governor in Lagos, and PDP has also produce great Governors in other States, so vote for the Candidate and not the party, cos they are all the same, but the most important thing is, if they give you money, it is important to take that money but vote your intuition.

Money is very important.

PDP is the original votes buyer right from the day of obasanjo to the days of fayose/Wike, but out bidding them taketh it by force. Out bidding is not crime nor is it corruption.

Bolustical:

How many months was Seriake Dickson owing before when he got reelected? Are you implying that it was massive rigging that brought him in too?

Remember Bayelsa has only 8 local governments and earns far more than Osun

the tactics of comparing others to APC monumental failures by their lackeys have become stale.
Osun state is owing over 32months and all you could come up is comparing the apc monumental failures to others.

For your information bayelsa state was not the only state owing salaries at that period and as at today have cleared their debt . same cannot be said of your lifeless osun state
