A leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekiti state, Chief Olusegun Oni on Tuesday appealed to his supporters to work for the party's Governorship aspirant, Kayode Fayemi in the interest of the party. His call came following reports of mass defection of his supporters from the APC. The move is coming after Oni lost the governorship ticket of the party to Fayemi in a hotly contested primary.
Oni while addressing his campaign council chairmen and team members from the 16 local government areas of the state in Ifaki-Ekiti on Tuesday said
“If you are really loyal to Chief Segun Oni and believe in my principles, we must keep this party alive and work together as one by remaining committed and dedicated to its success in the July 14 election.
“We remain in APC. We are to work for the party and it has a candidate in the person of Dr Kayode Fayemi. We have a duty to help the Nigerian political process to further evolve.
“The idea of aspirants jumping ship after primaries must be discouraged. If we won, we would have expected others to remain and work with us,”
