Former Governor of Ekiti State, Chief Segun Oni, has picked a nomination form under the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) for the 2022 gubernatorial election in the state.
Oni was elected governor of Ekiti in April 2007 on the PDP platform.
He was removed from office on October 15, 2010 following the judgement
of an Appeal Court which ruled against him.
The nomination form was picked at the national secretariat of PDP, the
Wadata plaza, on his behalf by the Director-General of his campaign
organisation, Mr. Yemi Arokodare.
Arokodare is a former member of the House of Representatives.
Speaking with journalists shortly after collecting the document,
Arokodare said the people of Ekiti have resolved to use their votes to
deliver the state for Oni and the PDP.
Arokodare said: “Today, anyone can visit Ekiti State to do a survey
and general assessment: the civil servants are waiting, pensioners are
waiting, farmers are waiting, traders are waiting, the women are
waiting, the youths are waiting, people living with disabilities are
waiting, even the men are waiting.
“Everyone is waiting for the emergence of Segun Oni, as the candidate
of the PDP, to elect and crown as the next governor of the state. It
is going to be a movement like no other.
“The people of Ekiti state once tasted the administration of Chief
Segun Oni (2007 – 2010) and for them, it is still the best experience
in terms of a people-driven government, good governance and open
government.
