Propaganda, blackmail won’t save APC from defeat —Ekiti PDP boss

The chairman of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ekiti State, Mr Makanjuola Ogundipe, has said the “recourse to propaganda by the All Progressives Congress (APC) will not save it from defeat in the June 21 governorship election.” Ogundipe, who stated this in Ado-Ekiti on Monday, also contended in the statement that the candidate of the PDP in the election, Mr. Ayò Fayose, was “the leading candidate in the election and cheap blackmail from the APC cannot stop the will of Ekiti people from being fulfilled.” He claimed that “the APC will attack other politicians and parties and be the first to go to the media to begin to cry wolf when their is none. They forget the bitter truth which is that the people of the state are no fools.” Ogundipe said the people of the state knew “that the APC people are not walking their talks,” adding “the murder of innocent persons in Erijinyan, Emure, Omuo-Ekiti among other places will not go unpunished.” The Ekiti PDP chairman said: “Out of frustration, they are now sponsoring frivolous suits against our candidate. That is because he is the leading candidate in the poll and the APC people are looking for just anything to hold on to. They know that their days in government are numbered.” Ogundipe charged the people of the state to remain steadfast in their support for his party, saying PDP would go ahead “despite unprovoked attacks PDP members by the APC members and we would not be drawn into needless battles.”
