Having lost the People’s Democratic Party’s, PDP’s Ekiti State Governorship Primary, former Ekiti State Governor, Segun Oni has joined the Social Democratic Party, SDP.
And, he is set to hoist the SDP’s flag at the Ekiti State Governorship Election.
The former APC National Deputy Chairman (South) says his newly found political Party’s working with some aggrieved members of the All Progressives Congress and The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to take over the reins of power in Ekiti State.
Making this disclosure while featuring on VoiceFM Socio-political program, “Setting the Agenda,” on Wednesday, 16th, February, 2022, he stressed that four of those who contested in last month APC primary in the State had joined forces with him to form a grand coalition that would loosen the grip of the ruling party on the state.
He also affirmed that he was in talks with some popular political pressure groups to solidify his Governorship intentions and ensure that power is returned to the people in June 18, 2022.
He further maintained that irrespective of the political wits and financial might that would be wielded by the popular parties, the SDP alongside the grand coalition would sensitize the people aggressively against selling their votes.
Oni, a former one-term Governor under the PDP, had decamped to the APC, then back to PDP, and now, SDP.
