Fayose, Fayemi Friendly at Segun Oni’s Birthday Celebration
Present and immediate past Governors of Ekiti State, Ayo Fayose and Kayode Fayemi surprised many on Saturday as they shook hands in public, sat together and exchanged pleasantries at the 60th birthday celebration of former Governor, Segun Oni at the Methodist Church, Ifaki, Ekiti.
The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, John Odigie-Oyegun, who was also present at the event, in his speech, reiterated his belief that 2015 was destined for the APC to sweep the Peoples Democratic Party out of government.
Oyegun also said that the PDP under President Goodluck Jonathan had brought untold hardship on Nigerians and that despite spending $28bn, the government had failed to improve power supply.
“APC is a party whose time has come. APC is a party with welfarist and people-oriented programmes. We won’t steal your money. Public money must be used for the benefit of the people. The level of corruption that exists today will cease when APC gains power.
“We would protect our citizens. The life of every Nigerian is worthy to preserve. Whatever that will take us to end insurgency, we are going to do it.”
The Deputy National Chairman of the APC, Oni thanked Governor Ayodele Fayose for restoring his privileges as a former governor of the state, while also denying insinuations that there was political motive behind the gesture.
He also said, “It is very clear anywhere in Niigeria that the APC is the government in waiting. The APC would win hands down. I believe this is the ordination of God.”
