Ado Ekiti—A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Ekiti State, Mr. Olusegun Osinkolu, has called for the overhauling of the machinery of the party in the state in view of its poor performance during the June 21 governorship election in the state.

Osinkolu, who was the former chairman of the state-owned, Fountain Holdings Investment Company, said this was the only panacea for good outings in the 2015 general elections.

Speaking with the newsmen in Ado Ekiti yesterday, Osinkolu blamed Jide Awe-led state executive of the party for its poor outing.

According to him, “There should be restructuring across board, the party cannot afford to approach the next elections with the same strategy, so the leadership must be changed. I am quite happy because our congress will be coming soon and I am confident that it will throw up credible people that can bring radical change to the party.

”The Awe-led executive could not do much in terms of administration because both the party leadership and government were fused into one. APC must learn how to separate the two because it will make things difficult for party members.”

, especially those who have problems with people in government, who ordinarily ought to run to the party to seek redress. Mistakes have been made but those mistakes as things stand today,

are not beyond repairs.”
