βSince we kicked off our grassroots campaigns in the last few weeks, the PDP has continued to receive overwhelming support, solidarity, and endorsements from all segments of the voting population,β he said.
He said that the spontaneous public jubilation that greeted the retrieval of PDPβs mandate of Mr. Shaba Ibrahim for the Lokoja/Kogi Federal Constituency at the Court of Appeal, reinforces the imminent triumph of the PDP in the coming election.
