Reports say three APC state publicity secretaries have gathered in Akure to fashion out plans in the wake of the governorship elections scheduled to hold in Ondo and Edo state soon.

According to Sahara Reporters, the Edo state APC publicity secretary Godwin Erhahon, the Osun state APC publicity secretary Morakinyo Akintola and their colleague from Ekiti state Taiwo Olatunbosun all converged at the meeting in Akure to firm up plans ahead of the governorship elections in both states.

Omo’ba Abayomi Adesanya, Ondo state publicity secretary, reportedly said the idea of gathering is to further spread the APC orientation to indigenes in the states.

Adesanya added that the publicity secretaries converged in order to help achieve the party’s elections goals of getting only capable hands into power in both states.

“This meeting is camaraderie, strategic and sacrosanct towards winning the forthcoming gubernatorial elections in the states (Edo and Ondo),” he said.

“Like what we have in Edo and Osun which the immediate past APC government in Ekiti, under Kayode Fayemi symbolized, we want to install a progressive and people’s government in Ondo State.”

Meanwhile, Godwin Erhahon, Edo state APC publicity secretary, who was present at the meeting has expressed full support for the APC in Ondo state.

He decried the rule of Governor Olusegun Mimiko, a PDP member, saying it was time to bring in new hands to run the affairs of the state.

He said: “Ondo is richer than Edo State, yet Edo State Oil and Gas Mineral Producing Area Development Commission (EDSOMPADEC) has judiciously managed the 13% Oil Derivative Funds to build over 600 kilometers of roads, 90 world class secondary schools, across Edo State.”

Erhahon added that Ondo state produces oil and gas hence she should have no such issues as unemployment, and economic crises in the state.

On his part, the Osun state APC publicity secretary called for peace and orderliness among APC leaders members in the state.

He also said the people in the state were fed up of the current administration hence the need for change in government.
