Former Ekiti State Governor, Segun Oni, has announced he is leaving the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Mr Oni told reporters on Monday in Ado Ekiti, that he was leaving the APC due to ill-treatment and lack of respect for him by the party.
Oni did not give the actual date he would formally defect to the PDP.
He said he had already started the process of meeting with critical stakeholders in the PDP such as former governor Ayodele Fayose and Senator Biodun Olujimi about his resolve to return to his former party.
“You all knew the kind of treatment I have been getting so far. As we speak, none of my supporters is being allowed to get appointment or contest elections in APC,” he said.
“Even if the APC gives me the whole world, I won’t be happy seeing integral part of my political life, I mean my supporters being treated badly as we have come to find it
“You can imagine, at a particular time, I was suspended in my ward at Ifaki Ekiti and nothing was said about it.
“Apart from politics, I am the Asiwaju, a high title holder in my town; if someone can have the effrontery to do that to me here, you can see it has sent a signal that there is a problem.”
Oni left the PDP for APC in 2014.
