"Our campaign, therefore, calls on President @MBuhari not to succumb to pressure by a failed Governor @RotimiAkeredoluand the @OfficialAPCNg to renege in his resolve not to interfere in elections, as amply witnessed in the September 19 Edo election."

The party said that it is not the fault of Eyitayo that he enjoins the support of the people of the state and that the governor would have been favoured likewise if he had done well in the last four years.
