The National Chairman of the APC, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, has expressed optimism that the party will win the July 14, 2018 governorship election in Ekiti State.
Oshiomhole spoke yesterday in Abuja at the party’s national secretariat while fielding questions from journalists together with the Chairman of Ekiti State APC Governorship Campaign Council, Governor Atiku Bagudu of Kebbi State.
The former trade union leader, who said that all the manipulative tools would be blocked, stated that it might be difficult for the PDP to learn the conventional tools of winning election because of their tradition.
“We are very impressed with the amount of work that Governor Bagudu has done along with his colleagues in the campaign council. Our campaign message is fairly straight forward. We have a candidate who is not new to governance. He has his track record.
“We also know that in the last election that brought Ayo Fayose to office, how the election was rigged, the money collected from the NNPC, the military officers that were ruthlessly deployed, the young officer who refused to participate in anger in the misuse of the armed offices, who later made the confession that was recorded and played on national television.
“All of those manipulative tools will not be used this time around,” Oshiomhole said.
