Campaign committee set up by National Chairman, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Prince Vincent Ogbulafor, for Ekiti North Senatorial election re-run slated for August 15, has concluded arrangement to kick-off the campaign tomorrow.
The Committee, led by Speaker, House of Represenatives, Dimeji Bankole, will arrive the state Ekiti tomorrow to kick start the campaign rallies throughout the five local government areas where the election will be held.
Other members of the committee include, Senator Teslim Folarin, Chief Olusola Oke, Otunba Muyiwa Collins, Dr. S. T. Lawal, Senator Sola Akinyede Alhaji Oladipo Tajudeen and Mrs. Olujimi Abiodun who will serve as Secretary.
Collins, who is Head, Publicity Secretary of the Committee, at a Press conference in Lagos, said the party was battle ready for the race, adding that, "we don't want to write off our opponents, because we are aware of their plans to bring in thugs from Lagos to distrupt and rig the re-run election coming up in Ekiti.
"We got information from a reliable source that the opposition party is planning to arrange police uniform for thugs from Lagos that will serve as polling agents in various wards in Ekiti State."
He said PDP has structures on ground in the state while the Action Congress (AC) was the remnant of the party in Lagos State, noting that "PDP is ready to win the election, we have put our arsenals together for it. The issue in this election in Ekiti Central is all about leadership and integrity. It is about the interest of the peolpe and their aspirations now and in the future. It is about the totality of what becomes of succeeding generations in that part of Ekiti where what counts is substance rather than the usual deceit of the Action Congress.
"We are convinced that all efforts to misrepresent us and steal the peoles' votes will fail, because Senator Ayo Arise has given the good peole of Ekiti Central a worthy and honourable representation in the last two years."
