Fayemi will bring prosperity to Ekiti, says Osinbajo, as Ado-Ekiti stands still for APC Mega Rally

Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo, on Tuesday, said the All Progressives Congress (APC) remains the only party capable of liberating the people of Ekiti State from their current challenges.
Osinbajo spoke in Ado Ekiti, the Ekiti State capital, at a mega campaign rally organised to garner support for the party in the  governorship election on July 14.

Also, the National Chairman of the party, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, said the the people of the state have no  better choice than to vote-in the ruling party at the centre for them to get liberated from the pangs of poverty.
Oyegun, who said he was shocked by the magnitude of people that trooped out to witness the event, said the development was a clear signal that the Ekiti people were ready to effect change.
The  APC  boss urged the people to replicate the same affection for the party on July 14, 2018 by voting massively for the APC candidate, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, a former governor and immediate past Minister of Mines and Steel Development.

The Vice-President, who led scores of party leaders from across the country to the venue, said there was no  better alternative to APC in terms of good governance.
He urged persons of voting age in the state to obtain their Permanent Voter  Cards (PVCs) and vote for Fayemi,  who he described as reliable and trustworthy.

“I can assure you all that Fayemi will bring the prosperity that Ekiti is in need of”, he said.
Other key leaders, such as  Asiwaju Bola Amed Tinubu, Deputy National Chairman, Chief Segun Oni, Senator Babafemi Ojudu, former Governor Adams Oshiomhole, and Governors Simon Lalong, Ibikunle Amosun, Abiola Ajimobi, Rauf Aregbesola, Rotimi Akeredolu, Yahaya Bello, Abdulaziz Yari and Abdulfatai Ahmed, who also spoke, canvassed support for the APC candidate, describing him as the best alternative.
While Tinubu urged the crowd to prove their loyalty by obtaining their Voters  Cards and consequently voting out the PDP government in the state come July 14, , another top speaker and former Governor Niyi Adebayo declared that the federal government would deploy both soldiers and mobile policemen for the election, whether or not the ruling PDP government in the state liked it or not.

Others party leaders present included  Secretary to the Government of the Federation, (SGF), Boss Mustapha and former Minister of State for Works, Prince Dayo Adeyeye.

The  high point of the event included presentation of the APC flag to Fayemi  and formal welcome of Adeyeye, former National Publicity Secretary of PDP, who recently switched loyalty from PDP to the APC.
Other bigwigs of the party present were  Chief Bisi Akande, Senator  Olorunnimbe Mamora and Mr. Bamidele Olumilua.
The 14,000-capacity Oluyemi Kayode Stadium had been filled to capacity as early as noon, long before  the Vice-President arrived the state at 2:39 pm.

Masqueraders and musicians, led by Adewale Ayuba, entertained the crowd.
In an interview, Fayemi said he was convinced that God would deliver the state to him on July 14, saying his decision to seek re-election was not for selfish reasons.
He enjoined all his supporters not to be distracted but remain focused  in their resolve to bring about change in the state.

The Vice president, in company of  the National Chairman of the party, John Odigie-Oyegun later presented the party’s flag to Fayemi at the rally.
