Why I’m dumping APC for PDP — Segun Oni

A former Governor of Ekiti State, Chief Segun Oni, has disclosed that he is returning to the Peoples Democratic Party.
The former Deputy National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress disclosed this in an interview with Tribune Online.
Oni has since been suspended from the party.
In the interview with Tribune Online, he said he was leaving the APC because his followers and supporters have not been well treated in the party, adding that he was also not accorded his rightful position and respect as a former Deputy National Chairman.
He said his suspension from the party was never attended to by the leadership.
Oni told Tribune Online: “It is true that I am leaving the APC for the PDP.
“I actually plan to address the press on the issue later this week, but now you have made me touch on some of the issues that informed our decision.
“It is not about me, but about my political family, most of whom have their own lives to live and a political future they must protect.
“They are not been treated well in the APC in terms of appointments.
“Is that how to run a party?
“You leave out some people when you are giving out appointments all just because they belong to the Segun Oni political family?
“When I was the APC Deputy National Chairman, some of them said they suspended me from the party.
“Up till this moment, the issues surrounding the so-called suspension have not been attended to.
“We have to fight against the tyranny of the minority that is existing in the party.
“How can some people, who are not even party executives at the ward level gather together to announce the suspension of a party leader?
“When I was the APC Deputy National Chairman, some people gathered and said they have suspended Clement Ebiri, a former Governor, from the party.
“But I told them to apologise to Ebiri who became a governor when most of them were nobody.
“I can assure you that we are definitely pulling out of the APC.
“It is not about consulting to take a decision.
“We have decided on that and it is about the political future of my political group.
“There is no going back on our decision to leave the APC.
“We are leaving by the second half of the year; we are moving out by Quarter Three.
“It is about the interest and future of my political family.”
