Former Governor of Ekiti State, Segun Oni has denounced his membership from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

This was disclosed to newsmen on Saturday by the Spokesman of Segun Oni Movement, Mr Adebayo Jackson.

According to Jackson, Oni’s decision and that of thousands of his supporters to leave PDP was reached during a stakeholders’ meeting held at Oni’s residence in Ifaki-Ekiti, Ido/ Osi Local Government Area of the state.

While there are no indications of the party the former Ekiti Governor would be joining, speculations are rife that Oni may join the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) to contest the forthcoming governorship election in the state.

Oni is said to have yielded to pressure on him from the overwhelming majority of Ekiti people, who are desirous to have him govern Ekiti back under any political party.

Jackson also noted that Oni would be leaving the PDP with a large number of members, saying his resignation from the party is with immediate effect.

“Engr. Segun Oni has finally resigned from PDP. All the people of Ekiti have decided that they want Segun Oni on any platform. And he had harkened to the calls. In fact, it was the image of Oni that has been promoting the image of PDP in Ekiti State. And once the PDP has decided to kill itself we have to take a bow and leave.

“Ekiti people will not leave Oni alone to go like that because they can’t see any other person that can deliver what Oni has been doing for them.

“So, it is the voice of the people and not the voice of anybody. As it is now, both PDP and APC will be contesting against the people of Ekiti. And the symbol of the people of Ekiti State is Engr. Oni,” Jackson said.
