As the race to the Ekiti State Governorship polls approaches, a former Governor of the State, Engr. Segun Oni, on Tuesday, flagged off his governorship campaign on the platform of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), tasking Ekiti eligible voters to get their Permanent Voters Cards (PVCs) ready and be prepared for the exit of the ruling All Progressives Congress(APC) in the state.

Oni told the people of the state that the ruling APC and the opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP) have failed woefully to the yearnings of the people of the state.

The former Governor was welcomed into Ado-Ekiti the State capital via Ikere road by party faithful, mammoth admirers, who adorned the SDP vest carrying Oni’s portrait and a big horse, the logo of the party.

The large turnout of loyalists and party supporters that welcomed Oni, who was accompanied by his running mate and Ado-Ekiti indigene, Hon. Ladi Owolabi, however,caused serious traffic gridlock along Ado-Ikere-Akure road for over two hours.

While addressing the crowd, Oni described the ruling All Progressives Congress(APC) under Governor Kayode Fayemi as a colossal failure, saying the SDP he brought to Ekiti represents progress.

He assured the people that they will take absolute ownership of his government as he did during his first term between 2007 and 2010 if elected .

“Our election is coming up on June 18, 2022, you are all aware of this. My advise to all of you is to go and get your PvCs and send this government packing. Sending them packing is like a  good riddance to bad rubbish.

“You won’t miss both PDP and APC in Ekiti if you vote for me. What is the essence of a government that can’t bring  progress? Please tell them that progress has come and that progress is Segun Oni. By the grace of God, I will not disappoint you.

“Your voter card is your power, don’t allow these people to continue to dominate the system and cheat you. Vote for progress, vote SDP. Go and mobilise for SDP, it is the party of progress. Ekiti people don’t deserve suffering, sweep them away with your votes on June 18”.

Oni adduced the groundswell of supports he had been garnering among Ekiti residents on his goodwill and impressive governance he ran during his first term, where he placed high premium on prompt payment of salary and pension.

He promised to prioritise the security of the people, employment generation, commercial agriculture, good governance, affordable health services, massive road Infrastructures  and would ultimately return power to the people, to whom he holds the power in trust.

“I have served you before, you know that I represent transparency and development and these  I will give you you if elected on June 18. I can’t deceive you, it is the same Segun Oni that you voted for in 2007, I shall keep all my promises with you

“I believe in the people and the power shall be in your hands this time, like I did during my first term”.
