Governor Fayose of Ekiti State and his
predecessor, Kayode Fayemi, on Saturday
surprised many when they shake hands in public.
The occasion was the 60th birthday of Segun
Oni which held at the Methodist Church, Ifaki,
Ekiti.
Both men, who sat together smiled as they
exchanged pleasantries during the ceremony.
At the event, the National Chairman of the All
Progressives Congress, John Odigie-Oyegun, on
Saturday alleged that the Peoples Democratic
Party governments under former Presidents
Olusegun Obasanjo, Musa Yar’ Adua, and
President Jonathan expended over $28bn on
power without achieving any result.
Odigie-Oyegun also said 2015 was God’s
appointed time for the opposition party to take
over from the PDP.
He and the Deputy National Chairman, South,
Segun Oni, spoke during the event.
Oyegun, who restated that the PDP under
President Goodluck Jonathan had brought untold
hardship on Nigerians said despite spending
$28bn, the government had failed to improve
power supply.
He said, “APC is a party whose time has come.
APC is a party with people-oriented
programmes.
“We won’t steal your money. Public money must
be used for the benefit of the people. The level
of corruption that exists today will cease when
APC gains power.
“We would protect our citizens. The life of every
Nigerian is worthy to preserve. Whatever that
will take us to end insurgency, we are going to
do it.
Oni thanked Governor Ayodele Fayose for
restoring his privileges as a former governor of
the state, describing him as a brother.
He debunked insinuations that there was political
motive behind the gesture.
Buttressing the position canvassed by Oyegun,
Oni said, “It is very clear anywhere in Nigeria
that the APC is the government in waiting. The
APC would win hands down. I believe this is the
ordination of God.”
