Governor Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti has said that he was ready to work with his predecessor, Segun Oni.
Fayemi disclosed this at Erinmope Ekiti, in Moba Local Government Area when he visited the community as parts of his ongoing tour of local government areas of the state.
“I am now ready to work with Segun Oni under the newly found alliance between APC and nPDP.
“If you know the political antecedents of Segun Oni, you will know that he has always been a member of my party, he has always being a progressive.
“I am ever ready to work with every right-thinking Nigerian to rescue our country from the brink of collapse.
“We even worked together at the launch of ACD which in turn worked together with AD for the birth of Action Congress of Nigeria.
“Therefore, I see no reason why his coming on board will not be welcome by right-thinking progressive Ekiti people.
“So, we are unique, Ekiti is one, we belong to one group and one family. It means anyone who is a lover of progress, lover of development and lover of peace will clearly welcome him.
“Though, I am not yet aware whether Segun Oni has reached conclusion to dump PDP for APC, but one thing is that myself and Segun Oni talk from time to time,’’ the governor said.
Fayemi’s statement came barely three days after some aggrieved governors of the PDP announced their defection to the opposition APC.
