Arokodare said the message of Ekiti people to the PDP is very loud and clear, declaring “Segun Oni we know, Segun Oni we want, give us Segun Oni as your candidate and we will do the rest.
“We shall use our votes to deliver and usher in a PDP-led government in Ekiti state. Today, anyone can visit Ekiti state to do a survey and general assessment. The civil servants are waiting, pensioners, farmers, traders, women, and youths are all waiting.
“People living with disabilities are waiting, even the men are waiting. Everyone is waiting for the emergence of Segun Oni as the candidate of the PDP, to elect and crown him as the next governor of the state.”
The DG Campaign explained that the people of Ekiti state once tasted the administration of Chief Segun Oni from 2007-2010. “For them, it is still the best experience in terms of a people-driven government, good governance, and open government”.
Arokodare further argued that the popularity and acceptance of Chief Segun Oni in Ekiti State “is very special and unique in its own way, and it is strategic to the PDP winning the governorship seat in 2022”.
