APC will win 2015 general election, says Fayemi’s aide

An aide to the immediate past
governor of Ekiti State, Mr. Dapo
Karounwi, has boasted that the All
Progressives Congress would win
the general election in 2015.
Karounwi, who has obtained his
expression of interest form for the
Ekiti Central Senatorial seat said
his party would also retain all the
seats in the National Assembly.
Addressing journalists in Ado-Ekiti,
he said, “I have no doubt in my
mind I would win the election on
the ticket of the APC, given the
clear record of achievement of my
party in Ekiti, my experience as a
grassroots politician and my links
with individuals and groups at the
grassroots.
“That my party is not in power
does not mean I will not win. I
have every hope and assurance I
would win this election.”
The former Special Adviser on
Legislative Duties to Fayemi said
his experience and performance as
a commissioner and a member of
the House of Assembly in Ekiti
would count in his favour.
Karounwi said the failure of the
Peoples Democratic Party at the
national level was enough to vote
against the party in the general
elections.
“Given the monumental corruption,
the ceding of territory to Boko
Haram and the entire near-absent
infrastructural facilities, Nigerians
would vote for a change.”
Karounwi also said the PDP did
not have the cohesion as much as
the APC in the state, added, “We
are a party to beat. We still have
the best grassroots inter-
connectivity, the best cohesion, the
best structure. PDP will soon
realise it has nothing to fight the
coming national elections in Ekiti.
APC is clearly ahead in all
parametres.”
