2019: PDP aspirant vows to stop ‘skilful manipulation’

An aspirant of the People’s Democratic Party for the House of Representatives, Mr. Bankole Balogun, has vowed to fight against what he termed ‘skillful manipulation’ in next year’s general election.

Balogun who is gunning to represent Akoko-Edo said he was already coasting home to victory in 2015 when over 2000 votes were ‘skillfully manipulated’ into the results that led to his loss to Hon. Peter Akpatason.

Speaking in a chat with newsmen in Benin City, Balogun said he would win next year’s election because of what he termed poor performance of Governor Godwin Obaseki.

Balogun stated that the administration of Obaseki has not impacted on the people of Akoko-Edo in the past two years.

According to him, “I am well-prepared. This is my third time I am contesting. I am not in the government of Obaseki, there is nothing in Akoko-Edo give Obaseki a pass mark. There is a lot of work to be done on Akoko-Edo.

“Without a doubt, the PDP will win in 2019. Akoko-Edo is still one homogeneous local government as it were many years ago. There is lack of infrastructure and there are no roads connecting major towns.

“Educational system is in shambles. There is not one quality health care facility. There is no industry. There is nothing to create a good quality of life for the people. The next election will be where the people of Akoko-Edo will make the décision for the PDP that has the answers.”
