Osun Election: PDP plans to ‘win with cash, rice,’ APC alleges

Osun State All Progressives Congress (APC) has accused the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) of vowing to use money and bags of rice to “win” the governorship election on August 9, as it allegedly did in Ekiti State.

Its Director of Publicity, Research and Strategy, Kunle Oyatomi, in a statement yesterday, said sources quoted a PDP national official of revealing the plan to a monarch in Ile-Ife.

“We are in power and we have the cash. At best, Osun voters would not be worth more than N10,000 and a bag of rice each. That is what we gave them in Ekiti. We will repeat it in Osun and win,” the PDP chieftain was quoted as saying.

The party accused the party stalwart of assuring the old man that he had nothing to worry about the election, as the Federal Government has the power and the money to make him win.

“We did it in Ekiti and we are prepared to do it in Osun again,” the PDP chieftain was reported by eye-witnesses to have said.

But the APC vowed that the PDP will meet its waterloo in Osun because the people “do not suffer fools and do not sell their birthrights.”

“The insinuation that the total value of an Osun voter is a bag of rice and N10, 000 constitutes an abominable insult on the Yoruba nation and for that alone, the people of Osun will show the PDP that we are neither hungry nor ready to be slaves.

“Sooner or later, the PDP leadership will be held to account for its misuse and abuse of political power, the reign of criminal impunity and the squandering of Nigeria’s wealth through massive corruption unprecedented in the political history of Nigeria,” the statement read.
