Guber polls: PDP confident of reclaiming Imo, Kogi, Bayelsa

 A chieftain of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Emmanuel Ogidi, says the party is confidence of winning the Nov. 11 governorship elections in Bayelsa, Imo and Kogi.

Ogidi, a former PDP Vice-Chairman (South) in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja on Thursday, described PDP as a party to beat in the three states.

He said that PDP and its candidates were already enjoying massive acceptance and support by majority of the people in those states.

Ogidi said the party was doing everything possible to quickly reconcile its aggrieved members or any misunderstanding within the party in the three states.

According to him, this will ensure that the party is united and work together and mobilise for the party’s victory in elections.

“We have the confident of victory in the elections and that is why we want to quickly talk to one another and reconcile all grievances so that it does not affect our chances,” Ogidi said.

On the party petition on the 2023 general election ongoing at the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal (PEPT), he expressed hope that the outcome would favour the PDP.

“The judges must know that whatever one sows today, he reap tomorrow. They should do things according to their hearts,’’ he said.

Contrary to speculations PDP may not survive if the decision of the judiciary on presidential election did not favour it, Ogidi said it remained a vibrant political party.

“We are going to bounce back. We have more than 60 members in the House of Reps, 36 senators, over 300 state lawmakers. We are big. There is hope,” Ogidi said.
