The ruling APC and leading opposition PDP are traded tackles over free and fair elections ahead of the September 19 governorship election in Edo State.
APC in a statement on Monday, by its Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Yekini Nabena, alleged that PDP was crumbling and also shockingly rudderless under its current national chairman, Prince Uche Secondus.
- PDP opposes ‘political godfatherism’ in allocation of FG’s 774,000 jobs
- PDP crumbling under your watch, APC tells Secondus
The party claimed that Secondus was in a willful denial of the obvious; that under the President Muhammadu Buhari-led APC administration, free, fair and credible elections are the new normal.
But reacting, PDP in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, said the statement showed that the APC as a political party, was dead.
“PDP notes that the responsibility of a political party is to engender civic participation in a free, fair and democratic environment, which the APC has brazenly violated in all our elections since 2019,” the party stated.
