Ahead of the 2022 governorship election in Ekiti State, one of the leading aspirants under the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and former governor, Engr Segun Oni, has unveiled member campaign team.

The committee headed by a former member of the House of Representatives, Yemi Arokodare , who will serve as the Director General of the campaign team.

While inaugurating the campaign team in Ado-Ekiti, Oni, who is the governor of the state between May 29, 2007 and October 15, 2010, said he was running to enrich himself or his political cronies but expand the frontiers of development in Ekiti for the benefit of the masses.

He assured his mission is to unite the party and wipe out the deep rooted divisive tendencies among contending forces for the PDP to emerge victorious in the poll.

The ex-Governor said: “The PDP family is an inclusive political community with a level-playing ground for all party members; we will leave no one behind because it is big enough to accommodate diverse interests, groups and everyone.

“This developmental journey is not about us, our friends or associates; it is about the people who have shown tremendous confidence in our ability to turn the state’s fortunes around and guarantee Ekiti a secured future.

“It is largely about deploying Ekiti resources to develop its people. This is not about personal enrichment or personalising governance for a few cronies.

“That the people are coming forward volunteering their cars for the PDP Family branding is a testament to who we are and a demonstration of pure love, confidence and trust in our commitment to make Ekiti State a better place for all.

“The campaign has not started, but the people are eager to create awareness and assure themselves that there is a viable alternative to the present situation in the State and will never take this for granted.

“We urge everyone to be orderly, lawful, show good conduct and use the branded vehicles in a manner that will further endear the PDP Family to the people”.
