In a goodwill message delivered by the leader of the national delegation that supervised the election, Chief Sam Sam Jaja, he congratulated all those that emerged as officers, describing them as the first of such officers to be elected by APC in the state.
According to him, Ekiti is a state of pride and APC members as committed people who no breeze, tempest, storm or tornado can shake. “You are not cowards. I know that come 2015, you will come out to vote en masse for APC.”
Also while thanking party faithful for the trust reposed on him and other members of the new executives, Chief Awe said notwithstanding the current challenges confronting the party, APC remained the party to beat in Ekiti. “This is our land. The land of the progressives, We won’t allow any stranger to take it from us.”
