Ahead of its presidential campaign slated for January, 24 in
Ekiti State, the national leaders of the All Progressives Con
gress (APC) yesterday met with a former Labour Party (LP)
gubernatorial candidate in Ekiti State and serving member of
House of Representatives, Hon Opeyemi Bamidele, in a move
aimed at enlisting his support for the candidacy of Major Gen
Muhammadu Buhari (retd.).
The APC emissary, led by its deputy national chairman, South
and former Governor of Ekiti State, Chief Segun Oni, visited
Bamidele at his Iyin Ekiti residence in Irepodun / Ifelodun Local
Government Area of the state, where they held a closed door
meeting with some LP chieftains in attendance.
A source at the meeting told Sunday Sun that APC leaders
during the meeting begged the former Lagos State Governor,
Asiwaju Bola Tinubu to forgive ex- Governor of the State, Dr.
Kayode Fayemi of whatever wrongdoings he committed
against him.
It would be recalled that Fayemi and Bamidele had engaged in
a supremacy battle of over who flew the party’s flag for the
June 21 governorship election in Ekiti State, a development
that led to Bamidele’s defection to LP shortly before the
formation of APC.
Addressing newsmen shortly after the meeting former
Governor Oni said “Don’t be surprised that I am here. I am
here to pay solidarity on the need for us to have a future to
gether.
