Former Ekiti assembly speaker, Femi Bamisile, is confident the APC will beat governor Ayodele Fayose in the 2018 gubernatorial election without relying on federal might.
Bamisile, who has declared interest in the governorship seat, said the party would embark on serious and widespread mobilisation to woo the electorate.
“We are not going to rely on President Buhari or federal might to win the forth coming governorship election. We have the capacity to defeat Fayose on our own.
“In the June 21, 2014 governorship election, we lost to PDP by over 80,000 margin. But in the presidential election, it reduced to about 50,000 despite the fact that Fayose did not allow some of our members to campaign.
“With this, it was evident that the APC in Ekiti is very strong. I want to assure our leaders that we will win the next election convincingly. But we have to work seriously for it so that we won’t disappoint President Buhari,” he said.
Bamisile stated that he had started monthly distribution of free petrol to commercial motorcyclists operating in the state, adding that other critical voting population would enjoy similar gesture soon.
He spoke on Friday during a courtesy call on the State Working Committee by his campaign team.
