Don’t betray APC, deputy-gov begs members

The Ekiti State Deputy Governor, Bisi Egbeyemi, has pleaded members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state not to betray the party in the upcoming general elections.

He made the appeal while inaugurating the APC Ekiti Central Senatorial Campaign Council for the 2019 elections, adding that the only thing he foresaw that could dim the chances of the party in the coming polls was acts of betrayal.

Egbeyemi said the council has been saddled with the responsibility of campaigning across the 57 wards and the five local government areas in the senatorial district.

They were expected to work for the victories of President Muhammadu Buhari and the senatorial candidate, Opeyemi Bamidele, at the polls.

Further, he said members of the council were also expected to canvass votes for the House of Representatives candidates in constituencies 1 and II: Sola Fatoba and Wunmi Ogunlola respectively, and the House of Assembly candidates in the elections.

“The task is not too much for us to achieve. We are here today because Bamidele did not die during the gunshot of June 1, 2018. God specifically preserved him for the senatorial ticket, because he will win.

“There are those who cannot be trusted in our party, particularly, when it comes to mobilising for elections. We should do the mobilisation for the sake of our party.

“If you are given any logistic, make judicious use of it in the interest of our party. Let us be dedicated. All we want is free and fair elections, we will not tolerate crises.

“We must learn from the mistakes of the last governorship election. If you are given campaign tools and you diverted it, God shall punish such person. We must be faithful to our party and the people.

“When I saw the list of the council, I had a conclusion that these were people that own the district, so the job has been made easier if only we can go home and work hard.

”I want you to visit those areas where our people did not do well in the last election and correct those mistakes”, Egbeyemi said.
