The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, on Tuesday said “no circumstance will push it to descend to vote-buying in any election, no matter the machination of the All Progressives Congress, APC.”
This is as the party said “it never bought any vote in the July 14, 2018 governorship election in Ekiti State like the APC did,” adding that its leadership will never allow such “practice under any guise.”
A statement by PDP’s spokesperson, Kola Ologbondiyan said “members of the APC who are going about claiming that their party bought votes in response to some parties that engaged in such practice are certainly not responding to the PDP.
“We spent our resources and energy on a democratic campaign that preceded the Ekiti election and never set up kiosks for the “see and buy” of votes as the APC unabashedly did.”
The opposition party, however, vowed that it will “never allow the APC to get away with its crass abuse of democratic norms through which it suppressed the will of the Ekiti people and appropriated victory to itself in the governorship election.”
PDP restated its position that the Ekiti election “marks the last time anybody or party will use any means whatsoever to manipulate it out at the polls, particularly in the forthcoming Osun governorship election and the 2019 general elections.”
