The All Progressives Congress (APC) on Thursday appointed the Governor of Kebbi State, Abubakar Atiku Bagudu to head the Party’s 77-member National Campaign Council to ensure victory for the Party’s governorship candidate, Dr. Kayode Fayemi at the July 14 Ekiti Governorship Election.

The campaign council, which was inaugurated by the APC Deputy National Chairman (North), Sen. Lawali Shuaibu on behalf of the National Chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, consists of fourteen serving governors, ministers, some members of the Party’s National Working Committee, National Assembly members and senior Party leaders.

Speaking during the inauguration, Sen. Lawali Shuaibu while stressing the importance of the Ekiti governorship election to the Party, urged the campaign council to shun hate speech in its campaign message to the people of Ekiti.

Shuaibu said: “In the exercise your assignment, please avoid hate speech. Let us ensure that we don’t use hate speech during our campaigns. If other Parties do that, our concern should be to capture the hearts of the Ekiti people in going out to bring to an end the four-year comedy that has been going on there.

“The election in Ekiti is very important for the APC. Infact, we feel the level of importance of the election is slightly below the importance of the presidential election to us. We are not going to relent in our effort to win Ekiti State. The responsibility now rest on your shoulders.”

The National Organising Secretary, Sen. Osita Izunaso during the inauguration also expressed the Party’s resolve to win the Ekiti governorship election.

“The election should be a must win for our Party. We won that election before, it was taken away fraudulently. This time around, we want to win it again and retain it.” He said.

The Chairman of the Party’s National Campaign Council and the Governor of Kebbi State, H. E. Abubakar Atiku Bagudu who was represented by the Ondo State Governor, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu SAN, at the inauguration called for unity among the campaign council and all stakeholder to ensure victory, come July.

He said: “We take this task as very important. Just as we all have stressed it. This will not be the first time the Party is expressing and underscoring the importance of this election. When South-West Party leaders met with the president recently, he underscored the importance of this election.

“We have faced enough of affront as a Party. Challenge has been thrown to us not only by the PDP, but by Governor Fayose. So we must be united to confront that challenge. We will give our all to ensure that we win Ekiti State for the APC.

“This will be a second battle. Somebody I read on Facebook said something about Ekiti and I said by the Grace of God, it will happen that way. I tell you what he said, ‘Akeredolu contested against Mimiko, he lost. He contested thereafter against Mimiko’s candidate, he won. So if Fayemi contested against Fayose and lost, he is now contesting against Fayose’s candidate. He will win’”.

Nothing dey happen....
Everything dey ekiti people hand ...
All I want is a free and fair election days all

Bloggers...... Spits on the thread and walks away .... Only 1 Atiku I know.

Hmmmmm are u telling me that bacause of Fayose APC raised 77 warriors against him?but what i know that if u´re with God u always win ur battle.

see the names of "who is who" in Nigeria

PDP need to form its campaign council!


Meanwhile, youths of APC don suffer... See marginalisation? We PDP Youths get hope sha...

If PDP raise similar committee I can vouch that at least 20 youths will be included.

No Rochas?

Okoroawusa:

Guy why una party no de like include una youths for this kind of activities?

TonyeBarcanista:

Tonye,We don't have time for "mobilisation fee","rally organization funds" and "travel expenses reimbursement" that is the norm in PDP youth wing


Na serious business wey do for APC

kitaatita:
No Rochas?

No Elrufai, No Masari, No Granduje. So?

Okoroawusa:

So na dia personal funds dem go use? The party no go lodge dem for hotel? feed them? transport them and "mobilise" them?

Beside, if you don't give youths responsibility then how do you expect leadership from them? How do you groom for tomorrow? Weren't they given opportunity by 1st, 2nd and 3rd republics leaders when they were youths?

Meanwhile, PDP doesn't drop any "mobilisation" or whatever fee. I'm not aware of any

Oh I expected Buhari as. Chairman while yaqub be secretary of the Ekiti campaign. Thrashing APC/Fayemi is a given!

All because of Fayose.
All I gat to say is ONE WITH GOD IS MAJORITY.

Peter the rock will destroy you all

This is serious.

77 heavy members (governors, former govs, minsters, Ambassadors, Senators, House of Reps members) for just a state campaign.

It means fayose is really on ground.

If God be for Fayose, winning is assured.

I remember when APC was fighting for Akwa Ibom, Rivers, Delta and Bayelsa.

They unleashed terror from army, police, and militant. But the people fought back and defended their states.

TonyeBarcanista:


Guy why una party no de like include una youths for this kind of activities?

That's your interest, where to chop

I am sensing another #Ekitigate saga. First to do no dey pain.

CilicMarin:


No Elrufai, No Masari, No Granduje. So?

keep deceiving yourself, you know why Okorocha is not in that list.

it's signed and sealed, Apc and its governorship candidate will be rejected and defeated at the poll. no matter the governor's and senators that will come for the campaign , pdp will win massively and convincely in the poll. power always belong to the masses. the voice of God is the voice of the voiceless.

Bagudu not Atiku.

You ve a point

Only one Atiku in Nigeria and he is a big thief too. Op just rest.

Okoroawusa:

You ve a point

This is what we successfully fought against in PDP and so far it yielded fruits. I'll be glad to see new brigade in APC coming up instead of same old guards

Is a must to sent fayose to jail

If only they could mobilize in this number to fix Nigeria ..

Life would have been good, alas the reverse is the case.

Fayose is really a rock for him to attract all these demons
