Governorship Polls: PDP Inaugurates Campaign Council, Vows To Conquer Kogi, Imo

• The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) is ready to dethrone the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kogi and Imo states in the November 11 election
• The PDP has inaugurated the party’s National Campaign Councils for the governorship elections in Bayelsa, Imo, and Kogi, charging them to “go and conquer”

Umar Damagum, the acting National Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), has promised that the main opposition party is ready to dethrone the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kogi and Imo states in the November 11 election.

Damagum made the promise during the inauguration of the party’s National Campaign Councils for the governorship elections in Bayelsa, Imo, and Kogi on Wednesday, charging them to ‘go and conquer.’

He said;

You have been selected carefully because of what you can do. We have confidence that you will go there and conquer. We expect nothing but victory.

You are going in at a time everybody is feeling the burden of the mistakes that have happened in this country. What is expected of you is to go there and remind them that this is not what we bargained for. We will have Bayelsa, Imo and Kogi.

These are PDP states. Somehow, they slipped away but Bayelsa has always had a PDP governor. I want to challenge everyone in this country to look at the states governed by PDP governors viz-a-viz the other parties. We have always excelled.

Why I Can’t Attend APC Caucus And NEC Meetings – Buhari

Former President Muhammadu Buhari has explained his inability to attend the caucus and National Executive Committee (NEC) meetings of the All Progressives Congress, APC.

Buhari, who was invited to the meeting by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, conveyed his apologies, indicating that he is unable to attend due to commitments earlier made.

He also used the opportunity to express his support and commitment to the APC, wishing it a good meeting as the leaders take decisions on issues of importance to the party and Nigeria at large.

Buhari’s former media aide, Garba Shehu, disclosed this in a tweet on Wednesday.
