THE National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Chief John Odigwe Oyegun and the party’s Deputy National Chairman (South), Engr Segun Oni have boasted that APC will kick out the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and form the next government at the centre.
They said that the 2015 general election is the appointed time for the PDP to be defeated at the polls.
Indeed, Oni, a former governor of Ekiti State, who expressed his gratitude Governor Ayo Fayose for restoring his privileges recently, said his party will trounce PDP in spite of what he described as Fayose’s rare show of brotherliness.They spoke at Ifaki Ekiti, yesterday, during Oni’s 60th birthday service held at the Methodist Church, Cathedral.
Those at the event include: Governor Fayose, ex-governors Niyi Adebayo and Kayode Fayemi; immediate past Ekiti First lady, Erelu Bisi Fayemi; former Deputy Governors, Modupe Adelabu and Abiodun Aluko; former Acting Governor, Tope Ademiluyi; Speaker, Ekiti House of Assembly, Adewale Omirin; and former Chief of Staff to Oni, Mr Segun Ilori.
Oyegun, who described the PDP administration under President Goodluck Jonathan as misfit urged the electorates to vote out PDP during the 2015 general election.
According to APC boss, Nigerians are already disillusioned with the sufferings the party brought into the country, saying Nigerians should use the opportunity of the general election to effect the desired changes.
“APC is a party whose time has come. APC is a party with welfarist and people-oriented programmes. But let me say here that youth employment will be priority on our agenda, apart from the fact that we will do everything possible to protect the lives of the Nigerian citizens. Whatever it will take us to end insurgency, we are going to do it. We are not going to steal public money the way the PDP is doing. Former Presidents Olusegun Obasanjo, Umaru Musa Yar’ Adua and the present President Goodluck Jonathan expended over 68 billion dollars on power but nothing was realized in terms of power generation.”
Speaking in the same manner, Oni said: “It is not an easy thing for political parties to sacrifice their privileges and come together to form APC. God Himself has ordained the APC to rule in 2015.”
The former governor used the forum to appreciate the gesture displayed by Fayose for restoring his privileges and for attending the birthday service, saying it was a “brotherly gesture that has no political strings.”
