LG ELECTIONS: Bauchi PRP warns against fraud, says APC, PDP are same

The Bauchi State Chapter of the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) has appealed to the people of Bauchi State to be vigilant and not to be influenced by the ongoing verbal spat between leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state.

The PRP in the state noted that members of both parties were birds of a feather who flocked together and easily changed sides in pursuit of personal interests, prioritizing personal interests over the public interest.

The party in a statement on Sunday through its state secretary, Abdulazeez Haruna, said “these are the same people who have failed to bring meaningful development to the country, and instead indulged in futile projects and embezzlement of public funds without transparency or accountability”.

Voters in Bauchi on Saturday, August 17 will go to the polls to elect new chairmen and councilors in the state’s 20 local government areas.
The PDP and APC have been accusing each other of wrongdoing since the start of the campaign, with each claiming to win a majority of seats in the upcoming LG elections.

Speaking further, the Bauchi PRP stated that “Under the current PDP administration, Bauchi State has been experiencing unprecedented hardship, with hunger and poverty being the major issues facing the people. Despite having the opportunity to make a difference, the PDP government has failed to deliver on its promises, instead focusing on pocketing public funds without transparency or accountability.

“Similarly, the APC government at the federal level has also failed to bring significant development to the country, besides suffering from the implementation of anti-mass policies and blatant embezzlement of public funds. In fact, most of the current APC leaders were previously members of the PDP and only switched sides for personal gain, which shows their lack of integrity.

“PRP Bauchi State Chapter appeals to the people of Bauchi State to reject selfish and self-serving politicians who have no intention of helping them. We must know them for who they are and not be swayed by their empty promises and false rhetoric.”

However, Haruna claimed that “PRP is committed to protecting and advancing the interests of the people of Bauchi State with honesty, integrity and transparency. We believe that it is time for a new approach to governance, one that prioritizes the needs and aspirations of the people over personal interests.

“We appeal to the people of Bauchi State to join us in this fight for a better future. Together, we can build a brighter future for our state.”
