The Ogun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has said it was not troubled in anyway by the outstanding defeat of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) at the Ekiti State governorship election.
In the election, Governor Kayode Fayemi of the APC was trounced by the PDP?s Ayodele Fayose.
The party in a statement by its publicity secretary, Mr. Sola Lawal, on Monday, argued that the party was confident of recording a huge success during the 2015 governorship based on the verifiable infrastructural rebirth of the state effected by the Governor Ibikunle Amosun administration.
It would also not agree with the notion that the Amosun administration embarked on panicky measures, following the trouncing of the APC in Ekiti State, saying all recently executed policies of the administration had been long planned.
It added, ?For instance, the public distribution of severance gratuity cheques to more than 200 past political office holders by the administration on June 24, barely 48 hours after the Ekiti election could not have been planned, processed and executed in such a limited period of time if it was informed by the outcome of Ekiti election.?
The APC noted that the payment of the severance package was delayed due to the insistence of the administration to ensure payment of backlog of pension and gratuity of civil servants.
The party further stated that the interactive meeting the governor had with civil servants last Wednesday could not also have been informed by the Ekiti electoral saga since the event was part of civil service week that ran between June 16 and June 22, 2014.
The statement added that the governor had always put the workers? welfare at the front burner, and that during workers? week, the governor handed over 200 units of affordable houses to civil servants in the state.
It also stated that the Amosun administration had always paid salary to civil servants promptly and had delivered dividends of democracy in the area of education.
