Edo 2016 Gubernatorial Election: PDP Demands Level Playing Ground From President MuhammaduBuhari…Challenges Edo People To Vote For The Popular Candidate

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has called on President MuhammaduBuhari, GCFR, to allow for a level playing ground in the forthcoming September 10, 2016 Gubernatorial Election in Edo State.

The Party in a statement on Sunday, July 17, 2016 said the stage is now set for the people of the State to decide among the parties’ candidate who is more prepared to deliver democracy dividends to the people of Edo State.

Prince Dayo Adeyeye, the PDP’s Spokesman while speaking to the Press described the Flag-off Campaign of the APC Candidate as a charade and full of old empty promises that has become the trademark of the All Progressive Congress (APC) at the Federal level and in all the states controlled by the Party.

“Nigerians now know better and the people of Edo State have also tasted the difference between the government of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and that of the All Progressive Congress (APC) and will decide on Saturday 10th September, 2016 who will govern them. We have seen it before and we are seeing it again with the usual empty promises of the APC. They will promise everything to deceive the people and will go 360 degrees denouncing all their promises once they grab power”.

The PDP re-iterated the fact that they are on a rescue-mission in Edo State to redeem the people from the ‘go-and-die’ government of the APC that has no regard for the ordinary people except to impose heavy tax without tangible projects in the state.

Prince Adeyeye called on the people of Edo State to protect their PVC and come out en-mass on Saturday, September 10, 2016 and vote for the Flag-bearer of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Pastor OsagieIze-Iyamu in order to rescue the state from the firm grip of deceitful government, and to provide the desired democracy dividends for the people.

…As APC Spokesperson Reiterates Official Candidate List Ahead of Publication The APC Integrity Caucus has moved to dismiss what it describes as a reckless and senseless rumour being circulated by a few individuals posing as party members. The gossip, they said, claims that the party “does not intend to submit” the name of Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). In a statement released on Thursday, November 14, 2025, the caucus said such claims are baseless and should be ignored by every well-meaning member of the public. “Since the successful conduct of our governorship primary on October 27 and the ratification by authorised delegates on October 29, some mischief makers have been whispering that the party will not submit Governor Oyebanji’s name to INEC. This is completely false,” the statement read. The caucus emphasized that the APC operates according to a clearly defined timetable, which specifies the dates for submissio...
