Former Speaker of Ekiti State House of Assembly, Femi Bamisile has said that the All Progressives Congress will defeat Governor Ayodele Fayose in the 2018 governorship election.
Bamisile while speaking during a courtesy call on the State Working Committee by his campaign team said “We are not going to rely on President Buhari or federal might to win the forth coming governorship election. We have the capacity to defeat Fayose on our own.
“In the June 21, 2014 governorship election, we lost to PDP by over 80,000 margin. But in the presidential election, it reduced to about 50,000 despite the fact that Fayose did not allow some of our members to campaign.
“With this, it was evident that the APC in Ekiti is very strong. I want to assure our leaders that we will win the next election convincingly. But we have to work seriously for it so that we won’t disappoint President Buhari.”
The State APC Chairman, Chief Jide Awe, represented by his deputy, Mrs. Kemi Olajide, and a leader of the party, Chief George Ojo added that all the aspirants will be given a level playing ground.
