APC is an Indivisible Family, Says Ekiti Governorship Aspirant

Vanessa Obioha

A notable politician and engineer Kayode Olubunmi Ojo has dismissed the crisis rocking the All Progressives Congress (APC) party in Ekiti State, stating that the party is an indivisible family.

Ojo who is also vying for the executive seat in the state for the second time said that the party’s main focus is to win the next election and as such the only solution to the perceived fragmentation in the party is to bring everybody together.

“APC is an indivisible family. But you know politics is about interests and every politician trying to vie for an office will create a niche advantage to get the electorate to get the position. It always happens in politics but at the end of the day, everybody will come together.”

Describing himself as a peaceful person, Ojo said that he can easily access members and encourage them to shove their individual matters aside and unite for the peace of the party.
“We have to come together to make sure that we win that election so that we can actually start that cycle of continuing where we left because if you look at it, Ekiti will always rotate from one party to the other since we started. It is very, very important that you know, we work together to make sure that we win the next election.”

He also expressed confidence that APC will retain the state, irrespective of what others may think.
“Some people have the idea that it is going to be the PDP that will take over power in 2022 and that encourages a lot of people to think it’s their time. But the fact is that we have gone beyond that. Everybody has realised that the only way for their lives to be better is to vote for an individual who will come to improve their lives, to x-ray all the candidates both in APC and PDP, and other coalition parties. It is to look at and say that this is the person that will improve their bottom line, their pockets and economy. So it’s not even about rotating parties.

“What is the party going to do? It is the person that helps the party. From the feedback we got from the people, it’s very encouraging. At the end of the day, the leaders will also hear the feedback, they will realise it’s better that they go in our direction because we want to ensure continuity by winning the election. It is not only winning the election; that is the beginning of the social contract to the people. It is also to make sure that we improve the bottom line of the state and that we make our state become the destination choice in this country,” he said.
