Few days after the governorship primary of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Ekiti State, one of the aggrieved aspirants, Engr Segun Oni, has concluded plans to join the All Progressives Grand Alliance(APGA) to contest for the June 18 governorship poll.
We have reliably gathered that Oni is at the verge of finalising discussions with the national leadership of APGA to get the governorship ticket.
It was learnt that his decision to dump PDP for APGA was hinged on the alleged manipulation that characterised the just- concluded party’s governorship primary, which produced Otunba Bisi Kolawole who is believed to be preferred aspirant of Ex-Governor Ayodele Fayose.
The former Governor is expected to lead over 70,000 members of the opposition PDP across the 177 wards in the State to APGA on Saturday.
A credible source within the Segun Oni Campaign confirmed that the Ex-Governor will run on the platform of APGA where his name would be listed before the close of substitution.
He stated that Oni was putting finishing touches to his plan to leave PDP for the APGA, adding that he will declare for his new party any moment from Saturday.
