CONFUSION COULD BE HEATING UP THE ONDO ELECTIONEERING PROCESSES AS IT WAS GATHERED THAT THE PDP HAD EARLIER FIXED ITS CAMPAIGN RALLY FOR THE SAME DAY AND SAME VENUE WITH THE RULING APC, SLATED FOR SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 2020.
This created controversies among the two parties and contenders in the October election with the PDP accusing the ruling party of using the power of incumbency and the Federal Government to repress opposition.
But strong indications emerged, yesterday, that the postponement of its campaign was due to the suppressed cold war between some governors and the party’s governorship candidate, Eyitayo Jegede.
According to sources, who pleaded anonymity, the internal crisis is already threatening the early preparations for the October 10, 2020 election.
It was reliably gathered that the development was responsible for the postponement of the campaign flag-off in a tweet by the Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, who doubles as the Chairman of the PDP National Campaign Council.
A statement yesterday by Secretary of the National Campaign Council, Abdullahi Hussaini MaiBasira, said that the rally had been postponed by one week. The event now holds on September 12, 2020.
