The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has expressed
its readiness to win the forthcoming governorship elections in Edo and Ondo States
respectively.
Leader of the PDP Caucus in the Senate, Enyinnaya
Abaribe, told journalists at the end of the caucus meeting on Wednesday that the
minority party in the upper legislative chamber met "and considered
matters that are germane to internal matters of the caucus, and we also
discussed matters related to the party and the recent party congresses held in all the states of the
federation."
According to him, the caucus was aware there would
soon be governorship elections in Edo and Ondo States, stressing the need for
the PDP not to only participate but to 'capture' the two states.
He said: "We also considered the fact that
there would be elections in two states of Edo and Ondo. We resolved that we
will encourage our members in both states to capture those states, so that we
can increase the number of states under the PDP in Nigeria.
"Every election under this new regime of the
All Progressives Congress (APC) is turned into a battle front, so I'm using the
battle language. The PDP is very ready to make sure that those states that were
under PDP before will return to the fold."
The Senate Minority Leader also pledged the support
of the minority caucus to the fight the COVID-19 pandemic, saying: "We
agreed that we are going to support the federal government in its fight against
the pandemic, as we urge Nigerians to do their best to stay safe."
