Legit.ng gathers that the governor also urged members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to be committed to the party’s success during the elections.
He said: “I plead with you, don’t take the APC’s weakness for granted. They cannot rig where there is commitment of the PDP members.
“So, you must work hard to avert the impending rigging. When you work hard, you will be recognised.”
The governor said the PDP had executed projects that would earn it victory in the state in 2019 and urged members of the council to embark on an issue-based campaign.
He said: “As we go into the campaigns, it should be issue-based. We are confident that there is a lot of achievements for us to campaign with, which will earn us victory.
“Other persons may go out there to insult people and say what they do not know, don’t respond to such persons. Tell the story of where we have been, where we are today and what we will do.”
