Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has strongly warned the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) against any election malpractice in the upcoming Saturday’s governorship election.
In a statement released on Tuesday by his media adviser, Paul Ibe, Atiku praised the PDP candidate, Agboola Ajayi, calling him a skilled politician with the capability to lead the party to victory and improve the lives of the people in the state.
The PDP Presidential Candidate in the 2023 election also urged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and other election management bodies to resist any form of malpractice.
He said: “The governorship election that is coming up this Saturday presents an opportunity for the people of Ondo State to elevate the condition of the state into increased prosperity.
“The APC, as it has been made clear to everyone, is a grossly unpopular party which does not have the interest of the people as a core objective.

“The people of Ondo State have an opportunity in Hon. Ajayi of the PDP to tell the APC that enough is enough.
“As leaders of the party, we shall provide all necessary support to ensure that the APC is not allowed to repress the wishes of the electorate in this election.
“This is also a sound warning to all election management officials and volunteers that the PDP will stand firmly against any malpractice in the Ondo governorship election.”
Atiku, however, urged people of the state to come out en masse and vote, and also ensure that their ballots count.
