Victor Ogunje writes that former Ekiti State governor, Chief Segun Oni and the incumbent governor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi have been at daggers drawn since 2007, when they first engaged in an electoral bout
Though the actual offence was not stated, but there is an overriding suspicion that Oni was punished for disrespecting party supremacy over the issue he had with Governor Kayode Fayemi on his eligibility to vie for the May 12, 2018 governorship primary. He never foresaw a lugubrious end as he unwaveringly believed he could have his way in court but the Supreme court proved him wrong and dashed his hitherto glowing hope by expressly stating that Fayemi didn’t breach any law by his participation in the highly pulsating and tension soaked primary.
The rerun could not even settle the scores. It reopened another vista of litigation filed by Fayemi. Like a repeat of history, the appeal court led by former President of the Court of Appeal, Justice Ayo Isa Salami ousted Oni from office and returned Fayemi on October 15, 2010. Immediately Fayemi won the Supreme Court case filed by Oni, a public procession was held by APC to rejoice. That day, the leaders and party members said all manners of repugnant and irritating things against the former governor. Some of Oni’s supporters sighted were heckled by the rampaging party members, who clearly stated that those behind the action must be punished.
Not bearing in mind his status, the APC executive in Ifaki Ward II on May 1, 2019, slammed Oni with indefinite suspension from the party. The letter titled: ‘Suspension From All Progressives Congress Ward II, Ifaki Ekiti’ reads, ” Subject to Article 21 Subsections I, II and X of the APC constitution 2014 as amended, we undersigned executive members of the APC hereby suspend you indefinitely from our great party, based on your refusal to honour our invitation for investigation and fact finding into the allegation of anti party activities leveled against your person by the members of our party.
However, Oni’s backers in the party didn’t take the matter with levity. They were determined to fight back in a hard way. The leaders of the party in the two wards in Ifaki Ekiti , in Ido/Osi local government, rose to condemn the suspension. They branded it as shameful and illegal, having allegedly violated the procedure of the party.
