PDP hits at APC, says going forward victory is sure
The spokesman of the campaign, Kola Ologbondiyan, who is also from Kogi state, said Nigerians will vote out APC in the coming polls.
His words,
“The people of the State amply demonstrated that Kogi, just like the majority of the states of the federation, is home to the PDP and that Atiku Abubakar will record a sweeping victory across Kogi State and others, to emerge victorious at the first ballot at the close of the February 25th presidential poll.”
According to Ologbondiyan,
“The people of Kogi State, like the majority of millions of Nigerians in other States, have rejected the incompetent, violent, corrupt and anti-people All Progressives Congress (APC) and its Presidential Candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and they are eager to vote in Atiku Abubakar and the PDP which embody their hope, aspiration and determination for a better nation.”
