The former Governor of Ekiti State, Mr. Segun Oni, has dumped the Peoples Democratic Party, and his colleague, Mr. Ayo Fayose to align with the current state governor, Kayode Fayemi ahead of June 21 governorship election.

Oni declared his intention during Fayemi’s visit to his residence before the commencement of the campaign rally held in Ifaki Ekiti on Monday.

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.

“Tomorrow is greater than today and yesterday. Let us look at our future. I am not talking perfection. I know God is the only one who is perfect. We must not focus on personal interests. Let us think about the future of our children. Tomorrow has started today.

“The Almighty God will grant you honour beyond your projection. This venture will succeed. Your tenure will be a huge success.

The excited governor, Fayemi described oni as a leader who is interested in development, adding that God will always bless his ways.

The governor 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.”
