The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP,  in Ekiti State has said the postponement of the National Assembly elections by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC has denied them the opportunity of  a victory dance.

According to a statement in Ado Ekiti, the Director of Communications and Strategy of the party, Mr Jackson Adebayo lamented  that the party would have been congratulating their candidates if not because of the botched election  by INEC.

“lf the Saturday elections had not been botched, we would have been congratulating our two Senators and House of Reps elect by now.”

According to the PDP chieftain he said  the  reports available to the party through its field officers indicated that the PDP was getting well over 70 percent of the votes in most of the areas where voting was already going on before the exercise was stopped.

“By now, we ought to be singing victory songs because the elections were going in our way before it was stopped.

“However, we are confident that anytime the elections are held, we will always be victorious because we have the people behind us.

“Besides, the people have come to realise the hypocrisy, emptiness and propaganda of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) and can no longer wait to expose these to the world to see.
