APC, Tinubu afraid of losing their investments in Ekiti —PDP

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has described the statements issued by the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its National Leader, Senator Bola Tinubu, threatening war and anarchy should the result of today’s governorship election in Ekiti State go against the APC as “lamentation of political merchants that are about to lose their investments.” Deputy Chairman, Media and Publicity Committee of Ayo Fayose Campaign Organisation (AFCO), Mr Lere Olayinka, said in a statement issued on Friday that “it is obvious that the reality of an impending rejection of his slave drivers by the people of Ekiti State is already dawning on Tinubu, and he must weep.” PDP said it was strange that despite the fact that electoral laws forbid campaigns 48 hours to an election, Tinubu and his APC could still go to the media to carry out indirect campaigns for their party, while also trying to arm-twist and blackmail the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and the security agencies. “We had expected that Tinubu and his party would respect the electoral laws, but since the leopard can never change the colour of its skin, they have behaved true to type by campaigning for APC and Governor Kayode Fayemi. “Most importantly, we are not unmindful of the fact that Tinubu’s fear of an impending loss of Ekiti, which he has turned to his political colony, has (affected) his mind, such that he does know that Nigeria is not owned by him and (that he) cannot dictate how government agencies perform their duties. “We, therefore, urge INEC and security agencies involved in the election to ignore Tinubu and his ranting of an impending loser, and do their jobs in accordance with the constitution of Nigeria. “Nigerians should also bear in their minds that election is only free and fair when it is won by the APC, but otherwise when other parties win,” Olayinka said.
