Ahead of the 2022 Ekiti state governorship election, Otunba Demola Popoola, an All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship aspirant, has said the party stands a good chance of winning the 2022 governorship election if it conducts a free, fair and credible primary on January 22.
Popoola, who spoke at the APC secretariat in Ado Ekiti on Friday while declaring his governorship ambition, said the only thing he solicited from the party is allowing a level playing ground during the primary.
Addressing the members of the State Working Committee, led by its state Chairman, Hon. Paul Omotoso, Popoola, said: “I know that Ekiti APC is being led by people with conscience, who lead by principles, trust and with the fear of God. They are unbiased, they portrayed themselves as fathers to all of us.
“I have never condemned any aspirant since I began my campaign and that is why I believe that the APC primary will be so peaceful, because we are all friends and by the grace of God, APC will be victorious in June 18 election.
