The newly registered All Progressives Congress(APC) in Ekiti state, has kicked off on a wrong foot as merging parties held separate rally while marking the presence of the party in the state.

But the APC on Tuesday faulted decision of the Congress for Progressive Change(CPC) to stay away from the flag-off of the party which held in Ado-Ekiti, state capital.

The event took place on Monday.

The APC Publicity Secretary in the state, Mr Tunde Adeleke, while reacting, stated that the action of the CPC members showed that they were being used by the opposition.

According to him, the CPC and the All Nigeria Peoples Party, were adequately informed of the date as they actively took part in the process that led to the take-off of new party in the state.

The ACN led by its Chairman, Chief Jide Awe, Governor Kayode Fayemi, held their event at the new-look state secretariat of the party, while members of the CPC held theirs at the Basiri council secretariat of the party, also in Ado-Ekiti.



Speaking with journalists on why CPC members boycotted the ACN-organised rally, the CPC Chairman in the State, Mr Babatunde Ajayi, alleged that members of his party were sidelined by the leadership of the ACN during preparations for the event.

But Adeleke punctured his claim, describing the action as unfortunate.

“I am aware that the leaders of the ANPP and CPC met with our chairman and other executives in Ado Ekiti on the planned rally, because our leaders are interested in full harmonization of the merger in Ekiti so that the party can take off on a solid footing, he said.

“During the meeting, they reached some agreements among which include that our secretariat be the Secretariat of the APC. In fact, they agreed to all the proposals brought before them by our leaders.

“We gave them the date and the venue of the rally . With all these, I don’t know how they were neglected or sidelined.

“Despite the fact that they were aware of the preparation, ACN did not collect a dime from them to organize the rally. All we expected from them is to attend. But our fear is that, they may be up to something and it will be highly unfortunate if that happens”.

He however assured that all differences would be addressed and resolved by the party leaders in due course.

Buhari on the other hand said he "must" contest 2015

This is just shameful. Prelude to what we shall see when they finally organise their national convention or evn to share proceed from the sale of expression forms.
