A former
Governor of Ekiti state, Segun Oni has revealed yesterday that the All
Progressives Congress (APC) has “tremendous’’ feelings of winning the upcoming
governorship election that will come up on the 14th day of July, 2018.
He made the
declaration in Abuja while speaking with journalists at the APC National
Headquarters after picking the expression of interest form and nomination forms
to contest the election.
Oni, who
resigned recently as the deputy national chairman (South) of the party to
contest in the election expressed the confidence that APC will surely defeat
Fayose’s PDP in the election.
He said:
“We have
tremendous goodwill out there in Ekiti; the goodwill for this party is there,
it is over-flowing and I can tell you that we will win the state.” Besides, he
said that the “stomach infrastructure’’ programme of the current administration
in the state was a farce and a “coinage to say something and probably arouse
the people.’’
“Forget about stomach
infrastructure; we are more than that,’’ he said, adding that his
administration would give priority to agriculture and bring innovation to
governance.
He dispelled insinuations
the he was the anointed candidate of the presidency and the APC leadership,
saying “I belong to the camp of God, not to anybody’s camp.”
It is worthy of notice that
it would be a great task for the APC party to beat Fayose’s PDP in the state
asthe masses seem to be obsessed with the man of the people.
He is loved by all and move
with people of the streets including traders, barbers among many,
The governor who declared
he is contesting for the presidential ticket of the Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) ahead of the 2019 elections paid a surprise visit to the popular barbing
salon, opposite University Teaching Hospital, Ado Ekiti, yesterday.
