The All Progressives Congress (APC) has said that it will re-strategise for future elections after Saturday’s defeat of its candidate and incumbent governor Kayode Fayemi.
Speaking to Daily Trust on the telephone yesterday, the National Organising Secretary of the party, Senator Osita Izunaso, lamented that the APC suffered intimidation in the run off to the elections when its governors were barred from going to the state for the last lap of the campaign with most of its officials arrested and detained by security agencies.
Izunaso added that the outcome of the elections in Ekiti will also provide an opportunity for the party to go back to the drawing board to determine where it might have failed to do the right thing in order to have a better chance in future elections.
“The party will surely map out better strategies not only for the forthcoming similar governortorial election coming up in Osun state in August, but in all future elections including the 2015 general elections,” he said.
He noted that,although the party has not met on the elections in Ekiti, he said it will meet to discuss about it and come up with a position on the matter.
Izunaso maintained that apart from the election result, there are other issues which the party must take a stand on, because of what happened before, during and after the elections.
National Publicity Secretary of the party, Lai Mohammed, on his part, said the APC stands by what the outgoing governor Kayode Fayemi stated on the outcome of the election.
Fayemi had since congratulated the PDP candidate Ayodele Fayose for his victory and promised to cooperate with him to develop the state.
