Leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekiti State have cautioned members and supporters of the party against complacency ahead of the June 20 governorship election. They urged them to remain steadfast and intensify grassroots mobilization to secure victory for the party.
The leaders gave the charge at the weekend during a meeting of leaders and stakeholders of the party held at the residence of the first civilian Governor of Ekiti State, Otunba Niyi Adebayo, in Iyin Ekiti.
Addressing the party leaders and stakeholders at the meeting, former Governor Adebayo said the widespread belief that the party had already won the election should not make members relax, stressing that victory could only be guaranteed through hard work, commitment and effective mobilisation across the state.
He urged party leaders and members to return to their respective communities and wards and carry out the responsibilities expected of them, insisting that there is enormous work to be done to ensure APC emerges victorious at the polls.
Expressing confidence in the performance of Governor Biodun Oyebanji, former Governor Adebayo described him as a good product who has delivered excellent governance to the people of Ekiti State. He therefore charged members to return home and work tirelessly to deliver an overwhelming victory for the APC in the forthcoming governorship election.
Also in his remarks, Chairman of the APC Campaign Council and Senate Leader, Senator Opeyemi Bamidele thanked the leadership of the party for the confidence reposed in him to coordinate the council. He urged party faithful not to approach the election with fear but with excitement and confidence.
While expressing confidence that Governor Biodun Oyebanji enjoys widespread acceptance in the State, the Senate Leader cautioned party faithful against taking anything for granted, charging them to reach out to actual voters and work diligently to secure victory for the APC.
In his remarks, Governor Oyebanji expressed his appreciation to the leaders and members of the party for their commitment, sacrifice and relentless efforts towards the success of the election.
