Two former governors of Ekiti State, Chief Niyi Adebayo and Chief Segun Oni, were among the 62 leading members of the All Progressives Congress, APC, who met in Abuja on Tuesday as part of the moves to reposition the state chapter of the party, ahead of future polls.
The four-hour-long meeting initiated by Oni, who is the APC deputy national vice-chairman (South), came up at the party’s national headquarters.
Briefing newsmen after the meeting, Adebayo, who was flanked by Oni, said the meeting was convened to reconcile members who had for one reason or the other left the party. He said the meeting has provided the needed tonic for the state chapter of the party to reinvent and reposition itself towards providing leadership for the long-suffering people of the state.
Adebayo said, “We held a meeting of (APC) stakeholders of Ekiti State. We had issues with some of our members that left to go and contest the 2015 general elections on different political platforms.
“We have met today and I can say categorically that, finally, all the issues that separated us at the time have been resolved and we are one big happy family now.”
Responding to a question on the absence of the Minister of Solid Minerals Development, Kayode Fayemi, he explained that the minister had sent an apology over his absence.
Adebayo said that Fayemi was meeting with the National Assembly with regard to issues bordering on the 2016 budget of his ministry.
Adebayo also expressed displeasure over the state of affairs in Ekiti, assuring that APC will change things.
