PDP aims for 1m votes in Gombe elections
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Gombe State targets no fewer than one million votes in the forthcoming governorship and State House of Assembly elections. Ayuba Aluke, the spokesman of the PDP Campaign Management Council in the state, made this known at a news conference in Gombe on Friday. 

He said the PDP was working towards a landslide victory for all its candidates in the elections, replicating the feat recorded in the National Assembly elections, where it won two senatorial seats out of three and five House of Representatives seats out of six.

According to Aluke, the chances of PDP winning the state are high, hence the defection of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) to the party on a daily basis. He said that the party was not just targeting victory but wanted to win with a margin that had never been attained in Gombe State. 

He added that the PDP has presented its manifesto to the people of the state, and they have judged them based on their commitment and what the PDP governorship candidate in the state, Jibrin Barde, has done.

However, Aluke alleged that the state government had dismantled all security checkpoints in the state ahead of the crucial elections, saying the PDP was not comfortable with the timing. 

He called on the Gombe State Government to reverse the directive and reinstate and reinforce the security checkpoints for the overall peace and security of Gombe residents before, during, and after the forthcoming elections.

The spokesperson appealed to heads of security agencies in the country to ensure adequate deployments to the state towards peaceful polls, as the right of all residents of the state to exercise their franchise and elect leaders of their choice must be protected in the interest of the development of the democracy. 

Aluke also urged residents to conduct themselves peacefully during the March 18 elections, urging them to vote for all candidates of the PDP.

He said that the PDP was targeting over a million votes, and by God’s grace, they would make it. He added that the people know what the PDP has done and is doing in the state, which gives them confidence that victory is theirs. Aluke revealed that the party had presented its manifesto to the people of the state, and they have seen it and judged them based on their commitment and what the PDP governorship candidate in the state, Jibrin Barde, has done.

The PDP spokesman disclosed that the party would replicate the feat it recorded in the National Assembly elections, where it won two senatorial seats out of three and five House of Representatives seats out of six. 

He said that the PDP was targeting a margin that had never been attained in Gombe State, and the chances of the party winning the state were high, hence the defection of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) to the party on a daily basis.
