Former Gov Segun Oni Set To Dump APC For PDP

The former All Progressive Congress National Deputy chairman (South), Engr. Segun Oni said yesterday that he was set to dump the ruling party for the People’s Democratic Party.
Oni, a former governor of Ekiti State, who spoke with journalists yesterday in Ado-Ekiti via a telephone chat, said his decision to dump APC was in the best interest of his political family whom he said were marginalized in the scheme of things in the party.
The ex-governor said he was treated with disdain and not accorded respect as a former deputy national chairman of the ruling party, alleging that the issue of his suspension from the party was never attended to by the party’s leadership.
He noted that arrangements had begun discussion with critical stakeholders in the Ekiti PDP like ex-governor Ayodele Fayose and Senator Biodun Olujimi about his resolve to return to his former party.
Oni added that in a matter weeks, he would be received back in Ekiti PDP with his teeming supporters, said he took the decision to return the PDP as a way
of acceding to the request of his people, who were desirous of taking the political step.
The ex-governor who joined the ruling APC from PDP ahead of 2014 gubernatorial polls in the state, expressed displeasure about how himself and his supporters were being ostracised from all engagements in APC, including appointments and privilege to contest elections.
“It is true that I am leaving the APC for the PDP. You all knew the kind of treatment I have been getting. As we speak, none of my supporters was being allowed to get appointment or contest elections in APC.
“If the APC gives me the whole world, I won’t be happy seeing integral part of my political family, I mean my supporters being treated badly.
