Barely five days into the new year, the governorship posters of the former governor Segun Oni have flooded strategic locations in Ado Ekiti, Ekiti State capital and other towns across the State.
The posters with the logo of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) carried a bold inscription : “Segun Oni for Governor, for a Greater Tomorrow”.
They were pasted in conspicuous places in Ajilosun, Basiri, Ijigbo, Ilawe Road, Okeyinmi, all in Ado and other towns; Ikere Ekiti, Ifaki and vote swinging communities across the 16 local government areas of the state.
The posters attracted attention that people clustered discussing the development of such on the politics of the state.
This came when the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is yet to fix the date or set the time tables for the election .
The last governorship election was conducted on July 14, 2018, when Governor Kayode Fayemi defeated the candidate of the PDP and the then Deputy Governor, Prof. kolapo Olusola Eleka.
Oni, was the governor of Ekiti between May 29,2007 and October 15, 2010, after which he was removed through a judgement delivered by former President of Appeal Court, Justice Ayo Isa Salami, in a case instituted by Kayode Fayemi of the Action Congress.
Oni defected to the All Progressives Congress in 2014 to support Fayemi’s second term ambition, where he held a position of the Deputy National Chairman (South) .
He contested the 2018 APC governorship primary, where he garnered a total of 482 votes to emerge as a runner up to Fayemi, who clinched the ticket.
The former governor returned to the PDP in 2020, sequel to alleged maltreatment and ostracization of his members in APC.
Commenting on the posters, Dr. Bayo Arowolaju, a former Special Adviser to Oni during his time as a governor and member of the media team of ex-governor’s political platform named ‘Atunse Ekiti’, said they must have emanated from those agitating for the return of his former boss as a governor.
