The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has reiterated that it has not merged with any other political party in preparation for the Lagos State Governorship and House of Assembly elections on Saturday.
Mr Hakeem Amode, the state Publicity Secretary of the PDP, issued a statement on Friday in the state urging residents, particularly the electorate, to disregard any claims to the contrary.
Amode stated that the main opposition party was still vying for control of the state.
According to him, the PDP governorship candidate for Lagos State, Dr Abdul-Azeez Adediran, is still in the race “to deliver Lagos for the people.”
“It became imperative to clear the air on the spreading propaganda that the PDP has collapsed its structure for another opposition party.
“The party urges the voters and faithful members of the PDP to remain committed to the party and work hard tomorrow to deliver victory for the party.
“We encourage the good people of Lagos State to ignore any rumour from any quarters and come out in good numbers to exercise their franchise and vote for the PDP,” he said.
The party’s spokesman said that PDP was the only credible alternative to the ruling party.
“We will work with the law enforcement agencies to provide conventional and unconventional security to protect Lagosians as they vote tomorrow.
“Nothing will stop the will of the people to install a breath of fresh air in Lagos State,” the spokesman added. (NAN)
