Party, (PDP) hit Igalamela/Odolu and Ofu Local Government areas, at the weekend,
with the governor and the candidate of the party in the November 21
governorship poll, Idris Wada, assuring the people of continued delivery of
democracy dividends.
At Ofu Local Government Area, the home base
of the candidate of the opposition All Progressives Congress, APC, Prince
Abubakar Audu, 12,700 APC members officially defected to PDP from All
Progressives Congress, APC.
According to Naija parrot, One of the defectors,
Simeon Adejoh, told Vanguard that their decision was hinged on the
transformation agenda of Governor Wada.
Speaking on behalf of the people of the local
government, the member representing the constituency in the state House of
Assembly, Elder Friday Makama, assured the governor that PDP would win over 80
percent of the votes in the area.
He said: “I will continue to say it that APC
cannot penetrate Igalamela/Odolu. All our political leaders here are PDP and
our people have asked me to tell his Excellency that on November 21, they shall
show their appreciation for all the governor has been doing in the
constituency.”
Speaking at the rally, the governor assured
the people that he will do more for them if elected on November 21.
He enumerated the projects he had executed in
the two local government areas to include roads, healthcare facilities among

another term, enjoining the people of the area to turn out en masse and vote
for the PDP candidate.
