From El-Yakubu Dabai Birnin kebbi
The Director General of the Peoples Democratic Party Governorship Campaign Council Abubakar Shehu GEDA says the party has prepared its members to withstand all forms of threats during the forthcoming supplementary election in Kebbi State
While addressing Newsmen in Birnin Kebbi the political stalwart said no amount of intimidation, threats and incessant arrest of PDP faithfuls as witnessed in recent times in the State will stop them from turning out en mass to vote into office the Party’s candidates in the April 15 Supplementary polls.
“Enough is enough. We members of PDP from top to bottom are ready to confront anybody that attemps to subvert our victory during the forthcoming election because we have first hand information that unscrupulous elements are planning to sabotage the exercise. Certainly we will defend our votes with our bodies and souls” Abubakar GEDA said
The Campaign DG further stated that “At the moment we have our members languishing in jail for no reasons. Some of our members from Yauri, Dandi, Arewa, Kalgo, Zuru among many others were recently unlawfully arrested and detained by security apparatuses under the instructions of Kebbi State Government. We will leave no stone unturned at ensuring their unconditional release to participate in the next polls”
He described as barbaric the recent actions by the State Government that saw salaries of civil servants at Local level withheld by alleging they were supporters of PDP, saying it was pure injustice to the workers especially in this holy month of Ramadan
In a swift reaction, Publicity Chairman of APC Governorship Campaign Council Kabiru Sani Giant dismissed all the allegations levelled against his Government, promising a free and fair electioneering exercise
