According to Punch, Oyegun who poke at a luncheon organised for APC leaders in the Edo South senatorial district, in Benin, the Edo State capital, averred that the ruling Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, had become scared of the outcome of the February 14 presidential election.
He explained that the leadership of the PDP had been using all means and“unknown persons to “scuttle” the poll because it was clear that they would lose the election.
He said, “President Goodluck Jonathan and PDP are running scared of the February 14 presidential election.
“It is obvious to them that they will definitely lose this election.
“They are using all means, through unknown people, to scuttle the elections. But I can assure you that elections will hold and we will defeat them.”
Commenting on the mammoth crowd witnessed at the rally, he said : “I am shocked at the kind of crowd I see in our various campaign grounds. For now, we have secured over 20 million votes. In Bayelsa and Kaduna states, we will defeat Jonathan and Sambo, It is obvious to them that they will definitely lose this election”
According to him, the 16 years of PDP presidency had brought hardship to Nigerians and threatened the unity of the country.
He said that the emergence of the APC as the biggest opposition party in Nigeria was divine and ordained to bring the needed change the country desired.
Oyegun, however, urged Nigerians to take their destiny in their hands by voting for the APC.
APC rallies have witnessed huge crowds in recent times. It would be recalled that the governor of Kaduna state, Ramallan Yero, on January 31, accused the party ofrenting crowds for its campaign in the state.
The governor emphasised that no matter the antics of the APC, the PDP will win the elections billed for February.
