Speaking at the official launch of the All Progressive Change (APC) in Ekiti State at Oluyemi Kayode Stadium, Ado-Ekiti, Fayemi said the APC is no longer the opposition party but the alternative government, which the nation wants at the centre.
The governor said the FG is now the opposition part, which has been trying to remove an elected government at state level.
“You can see what they have done in Rivers State, trying to remove a democratically elected government there,” he said.
He added that change has started in Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Osun, Ekiti, Edo, Imo, Zanfara, Yobe, and Borno states, pointing out that very soon, it will spread across Nigeria.
“Our party, APC is the alternative party and if you go to Lagos,Ogun and all these 11 states where APC is fully in control, you will see these positive changes we have been talking about.
Earlier, Governor Rauf Aregbesola, who spoke before him, had said “change is the main thing Nigerians are asking for now. APC is that change, which they are seriously yearning for. The nation cannot continue like this, there must be a change.”
The epoch making event was attended by the chairmen of the three defunct parties that formed the APC in Ekiti: Chief Jide Awe of Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), Alhaji Azeez Awolokun of All Nigeria Peoples’ Party (ANPP) and their Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) counterpart Mr Babatunde Ajayi.
Awolokun said what every APC members should be doing now “is bringing people in because a lot of people in the opposition are looking for how they can join this new party, APC. Let’s go and be fishing for these people.
The then chairman of ACN, Chief Jide Awe noted that APC is the only party that can transform Nigeria and that with the performance of Fayemi in Ekiti, it is certain that he will get the APC ticket for 2014 election.
