BREAKING! Ekiti 2022 Gubernatorial: Segun Oni Dumps PDP

Ahead of the June 18 governorship poll in Ekiti State, former Governor Segun Oni and first-runner up in the just-concluded governorship primaries of the opposition People’s Democratic Party(PDP) has withdrawn his membership of the PDP.

The Director of Media and Publicity of Segun Oni Movement Adebayo Jackson confirmed this in Ado-Ekiti, the Ekiti state on Saturday, February 5, 2022.

Oni’s campaign team had rejected the results of the Peoples Democratic Party governorship primary election which was held on last week Wednesday.

In a statement signed by Yemi Arokodare, the Director-General of the Organisation, the next day, in Ado-Ekiti, the team alleged that members of the organization were disenchanted by the process.

Arokodare alleged that the delegates’ register was mutilated and many delegates’ names were missing from the register.

According to him, 32 automatic delegates who were accredited were not given tags and were not allowed to vote.

Arokodare also said Governor Emmanuel Udom of Akwa Ibom who presided over the election allegedly threatened to arrest and lock all of these delegates if any of them should come into the hall.

Oni has however not indicated the party he would be pitching tent with.

But according to The Nation, speculations are rife that the Ex-Governor may join All Progressives Grand Alliance(AGPA) to contest the governorship poll.
