I Will Contest For Ekiti State 2018 Governorship Election, declares Segun Oni

[contextly_auto_sidebar]Former Ekiti State Governor, Segun Oni has indicated interest for the 2018 governorship election on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Oni, the APC Deputy National Chairman (South), said the party was ready to take over power from the Peoples Democratic Party in the coming election.

He made this known while speaking with reporters at the weekend in Ado-Ekiti, at the get-together organised by Special Adviser to the President on Political Matters Babafemi Ojudu for leaders and members of APC from the 16 local government areas of Ekiti State.

The party chieftain called on Nigerians to be patient with the APC-led Federal Government which he said is taking its time to clear the mess generated by the 16-year rule of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

When asked if he will contest the 2018 election, Oni simply replied: “I will.”

Speaking earlier on alleged existence of factions in his party, the former governor said: “We are one party, there must be interest groups. We are going into the election and anybody contesting must go with his crowd. Our leader is Chief Jide Awe.”

He added that Nigerians would soon begin to enjoy relief as the Federal Government was making frantic efforts to end the recession.
