All Progressives Congress (APC) leaders in the South-west, led by Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and former Interim Chairman of the party, Chief Bisi Akande, have restated their support for the party’s gubernatorial candidate in the July 14 Ekiti Governorship election, Dr. Kayode Fayemi.

They made the declaration on Tuesday while condemning a court case allegedly instituted by one of the defeated aspirants of the party in the state, Chief Segun Oni.

They leaders said the decision to support Fayemi was reached through a combination of persuasion, reconciliation, consensus-building and understanding on the part of all the stakeholders, pointing out that they as leaders held several intervention meetings in Abuja, Lagos and Ekiti with all the APC Ekiti gubernatorial aspirants where they resolved to support whoever emerges from the party’s primaries.

Condemning the court case which they described as spurious, the leaders asked those behind the court action to withdraw their case immediately “if they are within our party and not agents of PDP”.

They also called on Segun Oni to come out publicly to dissociate himself from and condemn the case and play active role in the APC campaign.

The statement was signed by APC National Leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, former Interim Chairman of the party, Chief Bisi Akande, the newly-elected APC Deputy National Chairman (South), Otunba Niyi Adebayo and the party’s former National Vice Chairman, South-West, Chief Pius Akinyelure.

Entitled “We Stand Behind Kayode Fayemi,” the statement reads: “The Ekiti Governorship Election slated for July 14, 2018 is barely three weeks away and we all are committed to working for the total victory of the APC candidate, Dr. Kayode Fayemi.

“The decision to support Kayode Fayemi was reached through a combination of persuasion, reconciliation, consensus- building and understanding on the part of all the stakeholders. We led several intervention meetings that held in Abuja, Lagos and Ekiti with all the APC Ekiti gubernatorial aspirants where we resolved to support whoever emerges from the May primaries.

“We have stood behind Kayode Fayemi’s candidacy since he won the governorship primaries and when we all gathered in Ekiti for the Mega Rally on June 19, it was an emphatic declaration of support for his candidacy.

“Again on the night of June 19, we as leaders met with all stakeholders including all former aspirants and commended them for not defecting from the party. They all emphasized their commitment and suggested that Kayode Fayemi run an effective and inclusive campaign that will ultimately lead to an all-inclusive government.

“We have been consistent in our position working to ensure victory for the APC candidate, we are therefore surprised to find out through media channels about plans to challenge Kayode Fayemi’s candidacy on spurious grounds.

“Furthermore, it is worrisome that a court action against Kayode Fayemi and our party is alleged by media reports to be instituted by Chief Segun Oni, which from our investigations is being sponsored by some unknown persons.

“For the avoidance of doubt, we the undersigned leaders remain solidly behind the candidacy of Kayode Fayemi knowing full well he has fulfilled all necessary requirements for the election as the candidate of our party.

“We have forged a common front even as we are irrevocably committed to our party’s victory come July 14, 2018. Nothing should be allowed to undermine our party’s victory in the upcoming election.

“We therefore demand that the sponsors of the court action withdraw their case immediately if they are within our party and not agents of PDP. We also request that Segun Oni should also come out publicly to dissociate himself from and condemn the case and play active role in the APC campaign”.

E fine happen

We also request that Segun Oni should also come out publicly to dissociate himself from and condemn the case and play active role in the APC campaign”.

Segun Oni had dissociated himself from the suit already. The suit was sponsored by Fayose and his silly party. Sadly, a credible platform like TheCable refused to carry out a good investigation before publishing the story hurriedly.

Segun oni have always opposed fayemi winning the primary elections and have initially expressed doubts that fayemi will have his cooperation and that of other top ekiti APC leaders during the July 14 elections.

There is no smoke without fire ,APC is trying so hard to cover the infighting in their midst by once again blaming the opposition and spreading propaganda to cover the court case instituted by segun oni. fayemi is a looser

Useless people.Which of them has condemned the plateau killings

Tinubu will never stick to the truth. No matter how, Fayemi is a loser!
