How APC can win Ondo in 2019 – Boroffice
Boroffice has stated that for the All Progressives Congress (APC) to
ensure victorious outing come 2019, Gov. Oluwarotimi Akeredolu must
ensure that the already fractured party in the state is mended before
the general elections.
The senator who spoke through his media aide, Kayode Fakuyi in a press
statement made available to DAILY POST admonished the Governor that if
the state chapter of the APC wants to be part of the re-election of
President Muhammadu Buhari, he must demonstrate favourable disposition
towards party cohesion and lead genuine reconciliatory agenda.
"Just like it is suicidal for an army to approach war with a divided
and disunited army, it is dangerous for Ondo APC to pursue the 2019
general elections with a divided and disunited party."
In the statement issued to commemorate this year's Eid-el-Kabir, Prof.
Boroffice also called on all leaders and members of the APC in Ondo
State to embrace unity and peace ahead of the 2019 general elections.
"In this atmosphere of Eid el-Kabir, it is imperative to admonish all
leaders and members of the APC in Ondo State to come together, build
party cohesion and work together for the electoral success of
President Muhammadu Buhari and other APC flagbearers in the 2019
general elections.
"There is no denying the fact that there are many issues that have
given leeway to all manners of speculations and postulations about
crises and disaffections within the APC in Ondo State.
"However, it is time for all aggrieved leaders, all dissatisfied
members, all factional tendencies and all political groups to drop
their grievances and come together as a party to deliver massive
victory for President Muhammadu Buhari in the 2019 general elections.
"It is time for all party men and party women of conscience to be
guided by the lessons of history. Recent political history has availed
worthy lessons that should guide us to create the future of our party.
Party members should be reminded that party cohesion was one of the
major factors that triggered the great outing of the APC in the 2015
general elections in Ondo State. Without party cohesion, APC would not
have been able to defeat the then ruling party in Ondo State.
"Thus, all party members must not lose focus on the ultimate target.
Our ultimate target is to ensure the victory of President Muhammadu
Buhari and other candidates of the party in Ondo State. For this
target to be reached, everybody is important. The importance of party
members should not be taken for granted. It is time to work together
for victory.
"The prognosis of the political malaise that has afflicted our party
is instability. It is the collective responsibility of all of us to
move our sunshine state forward. The best brains must be brought
together to generate the best ideas that will propel growth and
development. This political struggle is for all of us. If we win, we
win together and if we lose, we also lose together.
"Furthermore, unity is key to ignite and activate the economic
potentials of our state in order to midwife a new Ondo State that will
be economically vibrant, industrialized and politically stable."
It would be recalled that Prof. Boroffice and Gov. Akeredolu both
contested the APC governorship ticket during the party's primary in
2016, which produced the incumbent governor.
Since then, there has been no love lost between Gov. Akeredolu and
Prof. Boroffice with the former insisting that the latter is not a
recognised APC senator in the state.
