The Deputy National Chairman (South) of the All Progressives Congress<\/p>\n
(APC), Engr. Segun Oni on Tuesday convened a meeting with Ekiti State
\nStakeholders of the Party at the APC National Secretariat in Abuja.<\/p>\n
The meeting was attended by over 60 front-line APC stakeholders from
\nEkiti State including: Former Governor of Ekiti State, Otunba Niyi
\nAdebayo; APC State Chairman, Chief Jide Awe; Sen. Ayo Arise; former member
\nHouse of Representatives, Hon. Opeyemi Bamidele; former member House of
\nRepresentatives, Bimbo Daramola amongst others.<\/p>\n
Former Governor of Ekiti State, Otunba Niyi Adebayo spoke to journalists
\nafter the meeting. Excerpts:
\nWhy are Ekiti Stake stakeholders meeting?<\/p>\n
As you are aware, we have been having some issues with some of our
\nmembers. Some left the party to go and contest in the last election under
\ndifferent platforms and we have met today and we can say categorically
\nthat finally, all the issues that separated us at a time has been resolved
\nand everybody is back in one big family now.<\/p>\n
On the state of affairs in Ekiti state<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t think there is anybody in Nigeria who will say he is happy with
\nwhat is happening in Ekiti state. Ekiti is being turned into a pariah
\nstate and it is unfortunate that this sort of thing is happening and that
\nis why we who are in the opposition are putting our house in order and we
\nbelieve that if we all stick together and make sure that the party is in
\nstable state, we will be able to wrestle power back from the current
\ngovernor (Ayodele Fayose) that is making mockery of our state.
\nOn the Airport Project in Ekiti state
\nFrankly speaking, even without paucity of fund, even with the way things
\nwere before, it is a surprise that anybody or any reasonable person will
\nsay that the priority for Ekiti state is an airport. It is definitely not
\nan airport. We have an airport in Akure which is 45 minutes drive from our
\nstate capital. So building an airport in Ekiti state honestly is not a
\nwell taught out project.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
