Almighty Formular! we now have it.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) said Monday that the outcome of Ekiti Governorship election has not only increased the number of governors elected on its platform, but has also presented another workable formula for the party to win subsequent elections in the country fair and square.

Olisa Metuh, National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, at a press conference held at the party’s National Secretariat, put together to explain the reasons why the party won landslide at the poll, said, the methodology adopted by the party for the election would subsequently be adopted for other elections without wavering, with a view to achieving positive result.

The party also faulted the All Progressive Congress (APC) for kicking against the deployment of security personnel to Ekiti State for the conduct of the election, saying the APC only complained when outcome of elections did not favour them.

In his explanations on the winning formula, Metuh noted that four major principles were adopted by the PDP in prosecuting the Ekiti election, and that they actually worked like magic.

He said the party has a credible and popular candidate who was acceptable to the voting populace; the party achieved a major plus by allowing credible party primary as against imposition of candidates, the party was free from unnecessary interference by the Presidency; and the popular stance of the National Chairman that the right thing must be done.

Commenting on the allegations by APC that the election was militarised for the benefit of PDP, the PDP spokesman faulted the claim by the opposition parties, insisting that APC only supports a policy when the outcome benefit it, while condemning such when the outcome is not palatable.

He noted that the APC did not complain when military men were deployed to provide adequate, safe and sound atmosphere for the Governorship election in Edo State, which was eventually won by Adams Oshiomhole of the opposition party, but only cry foul when such methodology adopted in Ekiti saw to the emergence of a PDP candidate as the winner of the election.
