March 11 guber election: PDP, 9 parties form alliance in Ogun

In Ogun State, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has vowed that it will not allow the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to again manipulate the governorship election.

The PDP formed an alliance with nine other political parties on Friday in an effort to unseat the ruling party in the March 11 gubernatorial and State House of Assembly elections.

The PDP acknowledged that only a coalition with other political parties could defeat the APC.

The PDP is joining forces with Accord Party (AP), Allied People’s Movement (APM), Because Of Our Tomorrow (BOOT party), Action Alliance (AA), Action Democratic Party (ADP), All Peoples Party (APP), African Action Congress (AAC), and the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP).

Ladi Adebutu, the PDP candidate for governor, told members of nine political parties in Abeokuta that the move became necessary in light of the results of the presidential and National Assembly elections held on Saturday.

Adebutu, who was flanked by his running mate Adekunle Akinlade, accused the APC of rigging the previous elections and vowed that the PDP would not tolerate such behavior in the upcoming governorship election.

He urged members of other opposition parties to unite with the PDP in order to oust the APC and prevent the state of Ogun from collapsing.

Adebutu stated, “If we don’t fulfill our responsibility and allow the APC to run again, we will have failed and that will be the end of Ogun State; we will have lost the chance to save the state.

“Had Peter Obi and Abubakar Atiku collaborated, we would have won the election despite the rigging, which is why we must have this convergence, we must have the association we have today. We must unite; as separate entities, we will not succeed.”

Akinlade, on his part, accused the APC of planning to rig the governorship election and urged other parties to join the PDP.

While stating that the PDP alone cannot defeat the APC in Ogun, Akinlade stated that “we must work together to make it impossible for them to rig the election.”
