Fani-Kayode
The Director of Media and Publicity of the Peoples Democratic Party Presidential Campaign Organisation, PDPPCO, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, has assured that candidates of the party will win some seats in the Osun State House of Assembly.
Fani-Kayode disclosed this in an interview with journalists in Ile Ife on Saturday after casting his vote at Unit 03, Ilare ward 10 in Ile Ife.
He said the All Progressives Congress, APC would not sweep the poll the way it did during the 2011 general elections, adding that the people of the state had seen the effect of a legislature exclusively populated by lawmakers from one political party.
Fani-Kayode said: “This election is significant to democracy. The beauty of democracy is in the legislature that is made up of members of both the ruling and opposition parties.
“PDP candidates will win some seats in the Osun State House of Assembly and this is obvious.”
He, however, lamented the low turnout of the electorate, saying they should not have stayed away from the poll because the legislature was a very important aspect of any democracy.
According to him, the PDP would soon bounce back to take its lost glory in the political landscape of the country, adding that the loss of the party at the March 28 presidential election did not mark the end of the party.
“An end has not come to PDP in Nigeria. The party will restore its lost glory in due time and Nigerians will also appreciate the party. This is not the end of the party; the party will bounce back,” he said.
