Former Governor of Ekiti State who was unseated by the incumbent Governor Kayode Fayemi as joined forces to make sure that Kayode Fayemi return for second term.
Former Ekiti State Governor, Mr. Segun
Oni, has abandoned the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic
Party in the state, Mr. Ayo Fayose, to team up with Governor Kayode
Fayemi preparatory to the June 21 governorship election.
Oni made it known in Ifaki
Ekiti on Monday during Fayemi’s visit to his residence before the
campaign rally held in the town.
Oni’s decision to join forces with Fayemi
was applauded by the supporters of the two politicians who were present
at the meeting.
The former governor said, “We must ask
ourselves who is in a better position to give Ekiti a better future, the
kind of future that we want. This is why we are doing this. If you are
an Ekiti person, ask yourself who is in a better position to bequeath to
your children a better future.
Fayemi said, “What my egbon has
demonstrated today is that he is a true leader. The ruling party is
still in government. He could make demands, but for him, he has
demonstrated that he is a man of honour from the Land of Honour, and I
know that God will always bless his ways. He has followed his
conscience. He has followed his conviction. He has demonstrated that
character is important to our values system. We have done everything to
follow in those footsteps as Ekiti sons and daughters.
