Chief John Oyegun, the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), said the party conceded victory to the PDP in the Ekiti governorship election to prevent the outbreak of violence.
Oyegun, who said this in Benin on Sunday while fielding questions from newsmen, also said that contrary to insinuations the Ekiti governorship poll was characterised with lots of irregularities.
He said that it was in view of these irregularities that the party took the decision to challenge the election result in the court.
“It should be noted that we didn’t just concede victory because the election was flawless but we took the decision to avoid violence.
“We did not want anything that will make the people react negatively and violently.
“The party will challenge the trampling on the fundamental human rights of the people before during and after the election,” he said.
He said that Nigerians should embrace the APC as the new party with a different agenda to fix Nigeria.
“We are presenting our party as new, as different, and we have done the studies as people who truly care.
“There is no way we can prove it to you because we have never ruled this country but we can tell you to look at APC-controlled states.
“We are not pretending to be angels, politics is not a seminary nor is it the papacy but what is important is what are you doing with the lives of the people?
“Are you restoring hopes to their lives? Are you making their lives better? If not for themselves, do they believe that the lives of their children will be better?
“Are your policies concentrated on improving their lives? Are the sectors working in the interest of the ordinary Nigerian?
“Do we have power, do we have quality schools, do we have security, do we have jobs?
“Can we continue in this kind of state? I have told people who are ready to listen that this country cannot continue like this.
“There is no way it can survive it. So, we need people who have plans to start taking care of these issues and these are what the APC represents,” he said. (NAN) Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

You are simply shameless. Ekiti electoion was clean. You were not allowed to carry out your plans to rig the election through violence and inducements. Was the election rigged at Isan, the hometown of the deceptive governor where he lost his ward? Learn to accept defeat.
ReplyDeleteOgbeni make you no too fear! The only thing is that you should start parking gradually because this time around no body will have the chance to foist anybody on anybody. The hand writing is very clear. Tinubu and his cronies should go back to Lagos. The people in the South - West are tired of Tinubu's political hegemony and iron grip on this zone.They are tired of Politics of the "NURTW election violence', "Rig and roast" or the "Dog and the baboon being soaked in blood". This is rightly so because a zone that boasts of the greatest number of intellectuals and young vibrant politicians cannot allow it self to be turned in one man political property this 21st century. Ogeni no need to cry more than the bereaved. Fayemi has conceded defeat. So, I prophesy that the next state to fall is Osun Sobrahamakatokaya!!
ReplyDeletePDP agents...how much were you paid to do this?
ReplyDeleteFunny! Ekiti can't be intimidated by Evil group. Who are those expected to participate in crisis out-break? Your family members? Your time is up in the S/W because we are not affiliated with Boko Haram (BH).
