He spoke at the weekend in Ado-Ekiti, the Ekiti state capital while unveiling his campaign organisation team which has a former chairman of the party in the state, Chief Bola Olu-Ojo as the Director-General.

According to him, “Today, we can not say we want to travel without feeling apprehended of being kidnapped, that’s how bad our security set up is.The president and his team has completely lost it.

“They lied to Nigerians and we can see the damage they have done to our country across all sectors. There is poverty in the land and there is no hope because the federal government is not doing anything tangible to savage the country.”

Responding, the Director-General, Chief Olu-Ojo, expressed his readiness to work for the emergence of Aribisala as the governorship candidate of the PDP, describing him as the face of the youths

“His background as a banker and a financial wizard has placed him in better stead to manage the tight economy of this state.

He remains the best hope of the people who will take us out from the directionless present regime in the state whose tenure has brought doom and calamities to the people of the state,” he said.

The DG advised party leaders to eschew bitterness and any form of acrimony ahead of the election, saying that PDP would only achieve success at the poll with unity of purpose.
