Former Ekiti State Governor and leading aspirant in the June 18, 2022, gubernatorial election, Engr. Segun Oni said his desire to return to office is premised on the yearnings of Ekiti people to have him back in continuation of his enduring legacies.
Oni who is seeking the governorship ticket on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, stated this shortly after submitting his Expression of Interest and Nomination Forms on Monday in Abuja.
Accompanied by an army of supporters, Oni said service delivery which “characterized” his administration from 2007 to 2010, would be given pride of price if he is given the nod by the electorate to return to the Ekiti State Government House.
“We are responding majorly to the sentiment people have been expressing in our state about the services we rendered them when I was the governor of the state. “Based on that, the people believe that they and us still have more to give to one another.
“That is why we have decided to take it upon ourselves to run again for the governorship of Ekiti state so that by God’s grace, we will be able to render more service to our people,” he said.
He also said that a comeback would afford him the opportunity to complete some of the projects he initiated which he could not complete before his administration was ousted by a ruling of the Court of Appeal.
He continued: “We will begin from where we stopped. There are a lot of things we did not take to a conclusion.
