Why APC may lose Ekiti governorship election - Segun Oni

A Former Governor of Ekiti State and Deputy Chairman, South of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Segun Oni, yesterday cautioned that the party may lose the 2018 governorship election if it fails to present a popular candidate.Speaking at the end of the year party organised for the APC members in Ifaki- Ekiti, Oni urged the delegates not to mortgage their future by voting for the highest bidder at the primaries.

“They shouldn’t turn profiteers because they have two options, which is either take money from politicians and get temporary relief or vote for the right candidate to win the general elections, so that the APC can control both the state and the federal for more dividends of democracy to come to our state,” he said.

He said what was paramount to the John Odigie-Oyegun-led National Working Committee (NEC) was how to get credible candidate that could win election in Ekiti, adding that the party presently has no preferred candidate among the aspirants.
