Former Governor of Ekiti State, Chief Segun Oni has denied plans to dump the All Progressives Congress, APC, for the Social Democratic Party, SDP, if he loses out in the party’s forthcoming primary election.
Oni, who is one of the 33 APC governorship aspirants for the July 14 election, described such reports as political propaganda against him.
He said he believes in APC and had no fear of losing in the forthcoming primary election.
When asked to confirm plans of his defection to SDP, Oni said: “That is not true. That is the story they have been carrying about. You should expect rumours and political propaganda at a time when the primary election is fast approaching. There are some people who have plans A, B, C and D if things don’t favour them.
“As far as I am concerned, my name is Engineer Olusegun Adebayo Oni and my Plan A is APC. Plan B is APC. Plan C is APC and up to Z. My plan is APC. Why should I exercise fears when I know that by the grace of God, I will win at the primary election?
“I strongly believe that APC will take over governance in Ekiti State in a matter of time. I want to appeal to our delegates to shun money bags and they should never be deceived with financial inducement during the primaries. They should vote based on their conscience and performance index.”
