PDP Accuses Members, APC Of Frustrating Ekiti Rally As Fayose, Others Shun Atiku

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has been accused of conspiring with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ekiti State to sabotage the PDP’s presidential rally there.

The APC and some PDP members who are against the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, allegedly prevented all commercial vehicles from operating in the State during the rally.

Senator Dino Melaye, the PDP Presidential Campaign Management Committee’s spokesperson and director of public affairs, made this claim, in a tweet on his official account.

He wrote, “As APC and some PDP members ‘collabo’ to stop all commercial vehicles from operating in Ekiti today, in an effort to frustrate our rally, people defied all challenges and walked kilometers to the Ekiti pavilion. Atiku magic”.

However, some of the the party’s stakeholders in the state including, a former governor of the State, Ayodele Fayose, acting Ekiti State PDP Chairman, Lanre Omolase, former governorship candidate, Bisi Kolawole, seven of the nine PDP National Assembly candidates and twenty of the twenty-six House of Assembly candidates were notably absent from the presidential rally.
