PDP ’ll win Ekiti, Osun gov polls legitimately —Filani

THE Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) South-West zone, Mr Ishola Filani, has assured that the party is determined to fight and do everything possible legitimately to win the forthcoming governorship elections in Ekiti and Osun states. Filani, whose executive members just returned to office following a court injunction at the Federal High Court, Lagos, made this known while addressing journalists at the party’s zonal office along Hendrelick’s avenue, Bodija, Ibadan, on Monday. He said “a lot has happened since we quit office, hence, we’re doing everything possible to strengthen our party in the zone. First, we have two governorship elections in Ekiti and Osun States. “We’re determined to fight, do everything possible legitimately to reclaim the two states. We have no plan to rig as being peddled by Governor Kayode Fayemi. We’re dispensing all our arsenals to win the two governorship elections. “Don’t forget we have done this before. We won elections in all the South West states except Lagos but we lost them through courts injunctions. However, with the state of things now, we believe we have capabilities to win back these two states again into our fold because no important member of our great party has decamp till date,” Filani noted. “The former Governor Segun Oni that just left is like animal which has no flesh but full of skeleton that is crossing to the APC. None of his supporters left with him, rather, we’ve been gaining members from the APC. “But former Osun State governor, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola is still with us. We’re going to ensure that we bring everybody together, there is nothing for us to fight on.
