Ondo 2024 Governorship Election, A Sham – PDP
…Says it’s reviewing outcome of poll
The Peoples Democratic Party on Sunday, November 17, 2024, declared that the November 16, 2024 Governorship election in Ondo State, ran short of all expectations and requirements of a free, fair and credible election as it witnessed the height of electoral swindle, deceit and manipulation by the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The PDP also said that it and indeed all lovers of democracy in Nigeria and across the world have just witnessed the worst election conducted by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
A statement by Hon. Debo Ologunagba, National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, said the election witnessed widespread election merchandising, monetization and barefaced vote buying by the APC and its apparatus in government to suppress the genuine aspiration of the people.
The PDP said; “This devious practice by the APC was rampant and pervasive because the APC have utterly impoverished Nigerians and turned poverty into a weapon of mass subjugation which enabled it to manipulate the election and its outcome.
“We call the attention of all Nigerians and the International Community to this reprehensible practice by the APC as widely witnessed in the November 16, 2024 Governorship election in Ondo State and we demand that a serious action be taken to stem such if Nigeria’s democracy must survive,” it said.
Hon. Ologunagba said that the National Working Committee (NWC) of the PDP will be having a more detailed review of the election and its outcome to take appropriate action in the defence of our Democracy.
