Oni Others Working To Ensure Victory For APC – Bamidele

Hon. Opeyemi Bamidele, the Director General of the Kayode Fayemi Campaign Organization has disclosed that the All Progressive Congress has nothing to fear as regards the July 14 governorship poll, as the party would have a last laugh.

Bamidele confirmed that former governor Segun Oni and his group, including the party leadership in the state are working to ensure the victory of the party.

In a statement signed by his Media Aide in Ado Ekiti on Thursday, Ahmed Salami, the Director general said he has no reason to doubt Oni and his commitment to Fayemi’s victory in this election.

Naija News recalls that Oni was linked to a court case against the APC candidate’s victory in the party’s primary on account of his refusal to resign as a Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in line with the party’s constitution and guidelines.

The campaign director described as lies from the pig of hell the rumours making the rounds that APC was dealing, cautiously and suspiciously and with restraint defectors from the People Democratic Party (PDP) including former Minister of Works, Prince Dayo Adeyeye and others.

Bamidele assured Adeyeye and his group who left the PDP for the APC that their right would be protected and they wouldnt be discriminated against.

“We are not ruling out the possibility of people having some ill-feelings about certain issues in our party, but that should not degenerate to the level where people can act as fifth columnists in their own party.

“Ekiti APC can’t be immuned from crisis just like every other parties because we have diverse backgrounds and our temperaments differ in the way we handle issues. Let me say this, the doors of the party are wide open to entertain complaints and trash them in the interest of everybody.

“This is not the time to suspect anyone unduly. We should see ourselves as one big family and prevent anyone from hiding under social media to break our ranks.

“As the leader of Fayemi’s campaign for this election, we are ready to work with everybody and urge the leaders of all committees working within our campaign structures to be receptive to everybody and refrain from act that can lead to rancor and polarization before this election.

“Dr Fayemi in his address after clinching the party’s ticket displayed humility by openly expressed his readiness to work with all groups. He later visited other 32 co-contestants for the ticket and this prevented the widely envisaged defections of bigwigs in APC.

“We are not going into this race with divided mind. We are going into this election to win and we are rest assured that all our members will contribute to this victory.” he said.

“We have no reason to be suspecting these men who decided to join the APC’s moving train, because our party is receptive and we have constitution that guarantees safety for all members.

“There is no class differences in APC, you can only get that in PDP and that was why the party had always been in perpetual crisis. Our party has respect for everybody, regardless of whether you are old or new members”, he added.
