Segun Oni , has said that efforts to form
a mega party ahead of the 2019 general
elections will fail .
Oni , who said this in Abuja on
Wednesday , disclosed that the ruling
APC and its members were determined
to turn around things in the country .
He stressed that while he was not
saying that it was not possible for the
Peoples Democratic Party to make a
comeback , it would not be right to call
any emerging party a mega party as it
would not be bigger than the APC.
Oni said, “ We have always been saying
it ; this is a party that is going to turn
Nigeria around completely . Any
attempt to form any mega party, we
can predict clearly , will end up in
failure . This is the party that will turn
Nigeria around , and we are prepared ,
we are prepared .

“ If the PDP dies, there will be another
opposition party. What I believe is not
visible is the idea . So , we are not
saying that the PDP will not come
back , we are saying, don ’t call
whatever political party that is coming
a mega party, it cannot be bigger than
the APC. ”
Oni , who also commented on the state
of the economy, assured the citizenry
that the economy would get better in
2017 to demonstrate what he described
as the ‘human face’ of the APC.
He stressed that the President
Muhammadu Buhari administration
had been making efforts to encourage
state governments to pay workers ’
salaries through the release of bailout
to the states .
On the issue of the crisis rocking the
party, Oni said that the APC leadership
had commenced talks to ensure a
resolution of the differences among
the members .

Oni , who was a former governor of
Ekiti State , said that he was optimistic
that the APC would win the next
election in Ekiti State .
“ Ekiti people should expect a
government that will be different from
Ayo Fayose’s and that will come from
our party because it is not going to be
Fayose’ s party again , it should be our
party.
“ Our party should produce the next
governor , that is our prayer, that is
our hope and that is the hope of
everybody on the street .”
