A youth group in the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), APC Youths Renaissance, has congratulated the national chairman of the party, Mr Adams Oshiomhole, for leading the party to victory in the just-concluded gubernatorial election in Ekiti State.
The group, in a statement signed by its national secretary, Mr Collins Edwin, said Mr Oshiomhole has returned the lost winning streak back to the party ahead of 2019 general elections, saying the ex-Edo State Governor has brought good luck and proper coordination to the party.
APC Youths Renaissance said it has no regret supporting Mr Oshiomhole emerge national chairman of the party because he has justified the huge confidence reposed on him by leading the party to victory in his first electoral outing as national chairman.
However, the group called on party members to support the national chairman in his efforts to rebuild and reposition the party for greater electoral fortunes in next year’s general elections.
While congratulating the Governor-Elect, Mr Kayode Fayemi, for his landslide victory at the polls, the group urged his closest rival and candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Mr Kolapo Olusola-Eleka, as well as other contestants in the race to accept defeat with the spirit of sportsmanship, saying the people of Ekiti have made their choice known and that choice should be respected irrespective of any inclination or expectation.
The group finally urged President Muhammadu Buhari to remain focused in his determination to deliver good governance to Nigerians and never allow himself to be distracted by the futile efforts of the opposition to distract him, saying his victory in next year’s Presidential Election is fully guaranteed.
