The Acting National Chairman of the Peoples Democracy Party (PDP), Umar Damagum, has warned the party supporters in Ondo State not to yield to intimidation in the upcoming Ondo governorship election.
He urged the party members to boldly cast and defend their votes till the final collation.
Damagum stated this during the final campaign rally for the party’s governorship candidate, Agboola Ajayi, on Thursday in Akure.
The national chairman noted that Saturday would be a day to decide the fate of the state through voting, urging the people of the state to “drive the All Progressives Congress (APC) away from government” with their votes.
According to him, when the PDP was in government in the state, a lot of achievements were recorded.
He said that if the PDP wins the Saturday election, an end would come to poverty and suffering in the state, citing Oyo and Osun states as states that had witnessed tremendous changes from the PDP government.
He described APC-led government in the state as bereft of policies and ideas, making the state to lag behind in developmental strides.
