The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, gubernatorial candidate, Engr Seyi Makinde has appealed to the leadership of the All Progressives Congress, APC, to explain to their over- enthusiastic members the need for a peaceful and violent free electioneering campaign
In a release signed by Prince Dotun Oyelade from the candidate’s campaign organisation, Makinde said it is becoming rampant for APC members to vandalise posters and billboards belonging to the PDP.
In a statement made available to newsmen stated that “the latest development over the weekend where PDP party members were attacked and two of them sustained injury occasioned by gunshots by APC faithful last Sunday at Oke-odo, Ward 10 an area of Ibadan South East of Oyo state is absolutely unacceptable and we are asking all the security agencies particularly the Police and INEC to intervene and impress it on them that intimidation and violent attack will not win this election, the statement said.
Makinde challenged his counterpart in the other parties, particularly Oloye Bayo Adelabu to begin to harp on peace as he Makinde has been doing from the beginning.
The PDP candidate assured the people that no one will be allowed to deploy violence or rigging to frustrate the popular wish of the people in the forthcoming general elections.
