Metuh stressed the fact that the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate "exhibited the spirit of sportsmanship propagated and practiced by the PDP" urging Nigerian politicians to follow it, come the 2015 elections.
The ruling party also thanked Ekiti resident for having the confidence in the PDP reinstating their commitment to ensuring transparent primaries aimed at providing only popular candidates for elections".
