Ekiti APC in growing in-fighting ahead of 2018 guber polls

All Progressives Congress in Ekiti has raised concern about growing hate speech ahead of the 2018 race for the governorship.

The party says its aspirants standing for governorship must see sitting Governor Ayodele Fayose and the PDP as common enemy to be fought politically rather than scramble for the party ticket.

It noted worry about a “campaign of calumny” amongst asipirants for the governorshop, and said one aspirant Segun Oni has been under attack since he planned to declare standing for governor.

The party Acting Chairman, Kemi Olaleye, speaking in Ado Ekiti on Monday during the formal declaration of Oni, said Oni had been the “principal victim” of the online attacks.

Oni is a former governor of Ekiti and APC’s deputy national chairman for south.

“APC has about 104 platforms owned by different aspirants and I have been monitoring events closely. Segun Oni had been under attacks since he planned to declare his intention for the governorship slot.

“Let our people desist from this. Governor Fayose should be seen as our common enemy. With the crowd we are seeing today, Fayose will be rattled , so don’t care about the hate campaign, it wasn’t out of hatred but some supporters were out to market their principals.
