A former Ekiti State Governor, Chief Segun Oni yesterday defended his aspiration to contest the 2022 governorship race in the state, noting that he was in the race to rescue the state from total collapse.
Oni, also a former Deputy National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), added that his governorship aspiration was born out of the need to expand the frontiers of development for the benefit of the masses.
He gave these reasons yesterday at his campaign office in Ado Ekiti while unveiling members of his team that would drive his governorship campaign in 2022.
Oni had defected to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) after he lost the APC governorship nomination to the incumbent governor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi in 2018.
