Ondo state Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa has tagged the withdrawal of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from yesterday’s local government election in the state as an act of “cowardness.”
Aiyedatiwa, spoke after voting at his Polling Unit 5, Ward 4 in Ilaje LGA of the state.
The Governor said “I just cast my vote without any crisis. This is just what happened on the Nov. 16 election, which was adjudged to be free and fair.
“The materials arrived early, and the security and the citizens are here they are participating, and at the end of the day, just as we have in the last election, we don’t expect anything else.
“For the PDP to pull out, that is cowardness. They participated in the whole process, the ODIEC released the timetable for the election, I don’t know the reason for that.
“Maybe the fear of losing, every election has its own logistics and other political parties are participating whatever reason that made them withdraw, I am not privy to that,” Aiyedatiwa said.
