The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Chief John Odigwe Oyegun has reiterated the determination of the party to defeat the ruling Peoples Democratic Party, PDP and form the next government at the centre. He said that the 2015 general election was the appointed time for the PDP to be defeated at the polls.
Oyegun spoke at the 60th birthday thanksgiving service of the former EKiti State governor, Engr. Segun Oni in Ifaki Ekiti.
At the event were Governor Fayose, ex-governors Niyi Adebayo and Kayode Fayemi; immediate past Ekiti First lady, Erelu Bisi Fayemi; former Deputy Governors, Modupe Adelabu and Abiodun Aluko; former Acting Governor, Tope Ademiluyi; Speaker, Ekiti House of Assembly, Adewale Omirin; and former Chief of Staff to Oni, Mr Segun Ilori.
Oyegun described the PDP administration under President Goodluck Jonathan as misfit, urging the electorates to vote out PDP during the 2015 general election.
“APC is a party whose time has come. APC is a party with welfarist and people-oriented programmes. But let me say here that youth employment will be priority on our agenda, apart from the fact that we will do everything possible to protect the lives of the Nigerian citizens.
” Whatever it will take us to end insurgency, we are going to do it. We are not going to steal public money the way the PDP is doing. Former Presidents Olusegun Obasanjo, Umaru Musa Yar’ Adua and the present President Goodluck Jonathan expended over 68 billion dollars on power but nothing was realized in terms of power generation,” he said.
Engr. Segun Oni, who is the deputy national chairman also said: “It is not an easy thing for political parties to sacrifice their privileges and come together to form APC. God Himself has ordained the APC to rule in 2015.”
