Also addressing the crowd, the National Chairman of the party, Adams Oshiomhole said Fayemi was out to correct all the wrongs caused by the present PDP leadership of Gov Ayo Fayose.
According to him, all the salaries and emoluments owed state workers by Fayose, despite all the financial assistance offered states by the federal government would be paid within couple of months of assuming office.
Oshiomhole said the coming opportunity must be used wisely by the voters so as to guarantee a better future.
Speaking in the same vein, the National Leader of the party, Sen. Bola Ahmed Tinubu assured that the APC was committed to the progress and development of the country.
He accused the PDP, and not the APC of destroying the economy of Nigeria, calling it “Poverty Development Party”.
Tinubu said the only way out of the woods was for the people to dump the PDP and embrace the APC.
” It was the PDP that destroyed the future of Nigeria and those yet unborn. PDP stole all the monies and made life difficult for all the citizens.
” It is not easy to rebuild what the PDP has spent long years destroying, many of them that are now complaining, where were they when our economy was being bastardized?
” You must not allow anybody to intimidate you, I urge you to guide your PVC and use it wisely on Saturday.
” It is your turn in Ekiti to get a good government, it is not for you alone but for your children and their future”, Tinubu said.
