A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), in Ogun State, Chief Toyin Amuzu, has described Saturday's local government election in the State as a "complete charade" and an "arbitrary use of power".

Amuzu, who was reacting to reports of violence, intimidation, and manipulation during the council election, especially in Abeokuta South local government, called on Nigerians to reject the APC's recklessness and dictatorial tendencies in the 2027 elections, saying that it is quite clear that the APC can never win any free and fair election in the country. 

Hon. Amuzu, who was the House of Representatives candidate of the PDP in the 2023 elections urged Nigerians to reject the APC's recklessness and dictatorial tendencies in the 2027 elections, as it is quite clear that the APC can never win any free and fair election in the Country. 

According to Amuzu, APC's actions during the Saturday's election in Ogun State, were clear indication of their disregard for democratic principles and well-being of the Nigerians. 

His words, "It is quite disheartening that despite APC's usual massive rigging and manipulations, they still went ahead to cause violence and chaos, terrorising innocent citizens and the opposition". 

Amuzu emphasized that the PDP, with its experience and people-oriented policies, is better equipped to serve the interests of Nigerians, as different from the hardship and anti-people policies of the ruling party".

He said, the PDP had earlier raised concerns about the APC's use of military personnel to disrupt the electoral process, an act which saw the minority leader of the State House of Assembly, Hon. Lukemon Adeleye taken away in a 'gestapo manner'. 

"Yesterday's realities, according to Amuzu, have further exposed that the APC is quite unpopular among the people".

"Despite their attempts to manipulate the process, the APC still lost woefully, indicating that the people have rejected them, thus the reason to resort to violence and intimidation". 

As the 2027 elections is approaching, Amuzu has called on Nigerians to remain vigilant and reject the APC's attempts to perpetuate their recklessness. 

He emphasized that the PDP is committed to providing a better alternative, with policies and programs that prioritize the needs of the people, saying it is quite clear that the APC cannot win any election in a free and fair contest.
