Former Ekiti State House of Assembly Speaker Femi Bamisile has said the All Progressives Congress (APC) will reclaim power in 2018.
Bamisile said the people had realised that a “wrong party is in power”, judging by their experience in the last nine months.
The former Speaker, who declared his intent to vie for the party’s governorship ticket, said: “There is no more hiding place for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), which must be kicked out in 2018.”
He spoke when he hosted party leaders and members in the 16 local governments.
The former Speaker challenged them to begin mobilisation of people at the grassroots.
Bamisile, who also opened the “situation office” of his campaign organisation, said Ekiti people were disillusioned with the Ayo Fayose administration which, according to him, has failed to deliver on its promises.
He praised President Muhammadu Buhari for approving funds for states to pay their workers.
The former Speaker said Fayose no longer has excuses not to pay workers’ September salaries, leave bonuses and subventions owed state-owned tertiary institutions.
“We must thank President Buhari because he has done what many people cannot do. His package will help our teachers, civil servants and others get their dues.
“We heard that N2.1 billion has been paid to Ekiti State. Fayose must pay workers,” Bamisile said.
