The governor expressed optimism that the party ’ s candidate, Prof . Kolapo Olusola Eleka, would be the governor -elect on July 14 , adding that the president and his entourage would be disgraced in the state .
He said : “ I am not going to receive the president. If they think that they can use the police to intimidate us, it is a lie .
This government is undemocratic , why did they close Akure Airport yesterday , when they knew that we would be receiving our party members .
“ They have been arresting members of the PDP , but we will not be provoked . We will disgrace all of them on June 14 .
If you vote for the APC , you are voting for Boko Haram and Fulani Herdsmen . But PDP believes in the sanctity of human lives . ”
