Segun Oni, Others To Rejoin PDP Soon, Says Atofarati

A chieftain of the People’s Democratic Party(PDP), Chief Sanya Atofarati has hinted that all former members of the party who deserted in the pre-governorship elections would soon return.

He specifically mentioned former governor Segun Oni who floated the flag of the Social Democratic Party(SDP ) in the last Gubernatorial poll in Ekiti.

Atofarati, in a chat with KOKO TV NG, said the leadership of the PDP in the SouthWest and at the centre have set machinery in motion to bring about genuine reconciliation.

He opined that Nigerians, particularly Ekiti people have realized their mistakes, stressing that APC was not an alternative party to the PDP government both in Ekiti and at the centre.

The PDP stalwart said, “Ekiti people still prefer the PDP simply because it has been tested and preferred. I can confirm to you that the likes of Engr Segun Oni of the SDP in the last gubernatorial election are on their way to the PDP. This is upon the efforts and credit of the S’West PDP. Recall that Oni scored 82,000 votes in the last Guber poll. We are putting measures in place to recover our lost votes In Ekit.

Though Atofarati admitted that some unresolved internal conflicts were largely responsible for the electoral misfortunes of the PDP in the Governorship and General election in Ekiti and at the centre, he expressed optimism that the party would bounce back soon.

“The people of Ekiti are daily regretting the choice of Oyebanji who has done nothing significant since his inauguration last October to improve their welfare.

On the 300 days in office of Governor Biodun Oyebanji the PDP man rated the governor low in terms of performance.

He alleged that Governor Oyebanji could not point at any tangible project except some cosmetics packages handed down to the Ekiti people.

” 300 days in office by Gov Oyebanji is the worst Ekiti people have ever experienced. I put it to you, ask the government what exactly has he done significantly since he had ascended the governorship position, except for his inconsistent cosmetic patching of roads within the State capital.”
