“The APC is not known for violence. We are going to use this election to bury the Peoples Democratic Party in this state. We will show through the votes that we are on the ground.”
Dr Kayode Fayemi, governor of Ekiti State, during the APC rally on Wednesday, said that his party, the All Progressive Congress (APC), has no intention of rigging the upcoming Local Government election.
According to him, APC is not known for Violence and the People’s Democratic Party will be buried by their victory.
The Governor, who was represented by his deputy, Chief Bisi Egbeyemi, presented the 16 chairmanship and 177 councillorship candidates who were produced by the party and also solicited for supports to ensure they all win the election.
Egbeyemi said:
“Don’t worry, we have worked hard for this election. Everybody is going to win.”
“We are not going to rig the election. It is going to be free and fair and we shall be happy after the whole thing. The SIEC will be given free hands to do what is right.”
He expresses confidence in the victory of the party because according to him, campaigns have been done in every nook and cranny of the state.
