Ondo LG Poll: Fear of losing made PDP pull out of election — Aiyedatiwa

Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa of Ondo State has said the Peoples Democratic Party’s decision to boycott the Saturday’s local government election was due to the fear of losing.

According to Aiyedatiwa, the decision of the opposition party can be attributed to cowardice.

PDP had earlier withdrawn from the election over what it described as lack of credibility on the part of the Ondo State Independent Electoral Commission, ODIEC.

The governor, who spoke after voting at his polling unit 5, Ward 4, in the Ilaje Local Council Area of the state commended ODIEC for the smooth conduct of the poll.

“For the PDP to pull out, that is cowardice. They participated in the whole process; the ODIEC released the timetable for the election.

I don’t know the reason for that. Maybe the fear of losing, every election has its own logistics, and other political parties are participating for whatever reason that made them withdraw; I am not privy to that.”
