Abiodun Nejo, Ado Ekiti
Former Ekiti State Governor, Chief Segun Oni, on Monday expressed interest in becoming the governor of the state in 2022.
Oni said he would work with notable leaders of the party including former Governor Ayodele Fayose, Senator Biodun Olujimi, and others to reposition the Peoples Democratic Party and make it formidable to achieve the task of wrestling power from the ruling All Progressives Congress.
He spoke in Ado Ekiti on Monday while opening his campaign office christened “PDP Family Edifice”, preparatory to the forthcoming election in the state.
The PDP chieftain said, “Except the parameters change, I am interested in the governorship. Though only God knows tomorrow but as of now yes, I am contesting and we are projecting that God will sanction it.”
