A former Governor of Ekiti State, Segun Oni, who until recently was the Deputy National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, speaks withWhat exactly prompted you to leave the PDP at the time you did?
I had already got a house I wanted to purchase for the party and I had got a property trader to purchase a house and to agree with us that, if we were able to pay, within a year, we would not pay more than a premium of 20 per cent, because we knew how much he was buying it. I was doing all this without any personal benefit to me and you can now imagine a group of people coming up to get a jankara judgment behind me and the party. Of course, it was not only me. They started with me.
You teamed up with others like Gov Kayode Fayemi who worked hard to remove you from office and your efforts helped him return to office. What gave you the impression that he could be trusted? While I was governor, I told people I didn’t have any interest in who became what at the grassroots. Go and compete among yourselves. Whoever gets it is for me. Whoever does not get it will know that it is his acceptability that is in question. And that has always been my attitude. If we want democracy to continue and do well — and I’m passionate about democracy — we have to encourage internal democracy.
I’m sure they do know. I was suspended from my ward by people who were not elected to run the ward, who were imposed themselves because they knew the agenda they were going there to do anyway. When I was pronounced suspended, a few of my top people were also pronounced suspended in their own various wards. I said I was not going to write but they insisted. They wrote on behalf of all of us, including me, to the national chairman, explaining what happened.
Number one, I told people, I am back into full dignity and respect. I don’t like being disrespected and from what I’ve said now, you would have seen a lot of disrespect. I don’t disrespect people and I don’t want anybody to disrespect me, I don’t like being disrespected.
After you just left them..... Abeg we no fit get mumu-ed again... Keep your reservation to ya'self
We know! Annoying thing is if PDP gets back y’all will still accept all the APC vagabonds to your tent..

Hehen, Uncle Segun
The earlier Nigerians understand that the political and ruling class do not believe or have a party the better for them. They jumbo from one ship to the other when the tide is not favourable.
Sirjosephsir But this same man was also moving around. Now you know abi?
Who said that, APC is nothing to write home about
Before nko no be same PDP deflection to APC they only change name same poeple same thinking
My advice to all Nigerian voters is that we should wake up because many of these politicians are only out for their selfish reason. They have no ideology and integrity. Next time know who and how to follow.
How much were you able to steal when in APC?
You just dey realize am village man?
Let's face coronavirus please. To hell with your personal issues.

People are supposed to make this type of politicians irrelevant in the society because they are the main obstacle to the Progress of Nigeria.
