The Board of Trustees of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has asked President Bola Tinubu to immediately review his policies so as to check the widespread hardship in the country.
In a communique after its meeting at the Party headquarters in Abuja on Thursday, the BOT expressed concerns over the economic hardship and “general sense of misery, despondency”.
The BoT also alerted Nigerians that the alleged electoral manipulation of the Edo State governorship election is part of the sinister plot by the APC to foist a One-Party system and totalitarian rule on the country.
Part of the communique read, “Concern over the worsening economic hardship, acute food crisis and general sense of misery, despondency, uncertainty and hopelessness in the country occasioned by the anti-people policies of the All Progressives Congress (APC) administration.
“The BoT demands that the APC administration immediately review its policies and take immediate steps to ensure the reduction in the price of fuel, make key investments towards food production, revamp our manufacturing sector to stimulate employment opportunities and mitigate the suffering of Nigerians.
“The BoT in very strong terms condemns and rejects the brazen rigging of the September 21, 2024 governorship election in Edo State by the APC in connivance with INEC and some compromised Police operatives.”
The board insisted that from the votes cast at the polling Units, “it is clear that the PDP and its candidate, Dr. Asue Ighodalo won the election. The PDP will take every legitimate step to ensure the recovery of the mandate freely given to our Party by the people of Edo State.
“The BoT alerts Nigerians that the electoral manipulation of the Edo State governorship election is part of the sinister plot by the APC to foist a One-Party system and totalitarian rule on our country which must be firmly resisted.”
