Not intimidated by the inauguration of a 77-man Ekiti All Progressives Congress, APC campaign council, Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose boasted that the APC’s governorship candidate, Kayode Fayemi will be roundly defeated at the July 14th governorship election in the state.
Fayose who made the remarks on his official Twitter account stressed that the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration has shown more interest in Ekiti election while failing to provide solutions to some of the prevalent challenges in the country.
His words, “Unfortunately for the APC, their army of occupation is facing a Peter The Rock, they will be roundly defeated and the more they gather, the sweeter their defeat. Having spent over N3bn on mere primary election, they have earmarked over N25bn on Ekiti election, they will fail.
“I saw APC’s gathering of 77 for Ekiti election,which I regard as the Biblical Army of the Philistines that will always crumble against the Israelites.APC didn’t set up 77-man committee on economic recovery, herdsmen killings & hunger,it is Ekiti that is more important to them.”

Recall the TheNewsGuru had earlier reported that the All Progressives Congress (APC) yesterday inaugurated its 77-member National Campaign Council for the Ekiti State governorship election with a directive to members to avoid hate speech.
The campaign council headed by Kebbi State Governor Atiku Bagudu has 13 other governors, seven ministers, serving and former senators. The former Deputy National Chairman and one of the aspirants who lost at the primary, Segun Oni, led some of the former aspirants on the council.
Of the 14 governors named as members of the campaign council, only Ondo State’s Oluwarotimi Akeredolu attended the inauguration which was performed by the Deputy National Chairman (North) of the party, Senator Lawal Shuaibu on behalf of the National Chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun.
The candidate for the election, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, was not at the inauguration. Also absent were many others. But, National Organising Secretary Senator Osita Isunazo said they were absent because of “communication problem,” stressing that they had not been contacted about their, membership of the committee.
The 77-member campaign council has governors of Kebbi, Lagos, Ondo, Ogun, Oyo, Osun, Kwara, Zamfara, Jigawa, Plateau, Edo, Kogi, Borno and Adamawa as members. There are also one minister from each of the six geopolitical zones.
