Ekiti PDP WhatsApp Platform in anger as Fayose loyalists ask Segun Oni to apologise for Fayose, Eleka over comment on 2018 election

The loyalists to the former governor Ayo Fayose have asked Segun Oni, one of the Ekiti governorship aspirants of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to apologise to their principal, Fayose, 2018 governorship candidate, Kolapo Olusola Eleka and PDP in general over the comment made on Ekiti 2018 election.

The Fayose loyalist was angered on Tuesday night on the official WhatsApp platform of the party in the state, in which Fayose, Eleka, State Working Committee (SWC), all the governorship aspirants and notable party leaders were on the group.

One of the Segun Oni loyalists had earlier posted the news on the rally organized for Oni on Monday on the WhatsApp group.

Segun Oni’s statement causes the arguments on the group platform to ask him to have apologised to Ekiti people.

The Oni statement read “People who did vote-buying in 2018 are regretting now. They are crying and they are raining curses on the people who misled them, gave them money and now fumbling in government”

Fayose loyalists angrily and asked him to apologise to Ayo Fayose, the 2018 PDP governorship candidate, Professor Kolapo Olusola-Eleka and the PDP in general.

The Fayose loyalists said Oni was in APC during the 2018 election and was among the APC leaders who misled the Ekiti people.

Recall that Oni was almost completing his tenure as Ekiti governor when the court ruled that the 2007 election that ushered him in was, actually, won by Kayode Fayemi.

Oni, 67, who was made governor on the platform of the PDP, defected to the then newly-formed the All Progressives Congress in 2014 where he later became the southwest deputy national chairman of the APC.

The former governor came back to PDP last year.

Oni said those who traded their votes for money during the state’s 2018 Governorship election are today full of regrets because of the lacklustre performance of the ruling All Progressive Congress.

Oni, who is aspiring to seek re-election as governor on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party in 2022, said this at a rally organised in his honour by the Wale Ayeni-led Ekiti PDP Progressives, in Ado Ekiti, on Monday.

See the reaction of the Oni’s statement on the State PDP WhatsApp group:

Eleka loyalist replied “Hmmmm but he joined them to do the evil in 2018. E gbe Olorun to bi”

Oni loyalist responds: “When we do arguments in politics, sir learn to be calm, relax and do proper investigation before we jump on media platforms to give comments that tend to lower our stands. So did u mean because Segun Oni was in APC makes him one of those that rig elections???  If I may ask you sir, should the fact your biological is a thief also makes you an armed robber?? So the fact Anini was a notorious armed robber makes all his family members a robber?? The Segun Oni you are talking about was even robbed in the primary which took place at Oluyemi Kayode stadium. He was offered a senate seat and he gave it to Adetunbi from Ifaki. Are you going to tell me because Jonathan’s govt was full of corrupt atrocities makes everyone in that govt corrupt?? When we argue politics, let us be wise and not otherwise. Odaaaro baba aye”

Fayose loyalist responds: “Thank God BRA sege remember above the line. ☝️

“I guess Bra Sege was in APC in 2018 and played a part on how PDP/Eleka victory got swayed overnight.

“Bra Sege should first apologise to the PDP, Osokomole, Eleka and those weys dem follow frustrate dem efforts before telling us how to win 2022.

Ire o 🚶‍♂️”

Oni loyalist responds again: “How will you say Segun Oni must apologise to Eleka, for what?? It was Segun Oni that made Eleka have a poor outing in his home town?? Was it Segun Oni that pushed Adeyeye to APC to add more to their strength?? So Segun oni was the one who told Eleka to be fighting Oukere from his own town abi. A lot of things went wrong concerning the failure of Prof Kolapo. The problem from the party is even more than the one we faced from APC”.

Fayose Loyalist responds again: “Read BRA Sege’s statement very well as highlighted above.

He CONSENTED to RIGGING, MANIPULATION, VOTE BUYING AND OTHERS along with other APC stalwarts.

Na u want to change wetin Bra personally CONSENTED to?

Okay, I don hear u. Where was BRA sege in 2018? Was he in APC OR PDP?”

Oni loyalist responds: “It is shameful when u people see Segun Oni’s journey to APC as a sin but quick to sing the song of praises to another leader who did same as he did. I hate hypocrisy and that’s what most of us are”.

Governorship aspirant, Olukemi Ojo asked Oni loyalists to Stay on the issues raised. “Read the press release”.

She said “You know we won this election but was manipulated at the INEC office. “You know now. “The Ikere votes, Olukere and  Mr Adeyeye factors were never the reasons APC rigged that election”.

Eleka loyalist also replied to Oni fans “My dear brother, if my dear Oga didn’t believe in the rigging why was he in court challenging the qualification of Fayemi to the apex court in the land? My brother if he has won in court won’t he be a beneficiary? The court only scuttled his intention to benefit from the rigging. Also, he refused the Senatorial ticket is because he believed that he will take over the position of the Governor. Anyway, I don’t just make comments on media platforms but with conviction”.

Fayose fans respond “Your point off track. We aren’t saying he doesn’t have the right to condemn the action but

1-  He should PUBLICLY APOLOGISE for being part of those that BROUGHT EVIL to the land instead of this clever by half attempt.

2- That he was part of the process clearly shows his so much rated INTEGRITY is questionable.

3- He should take another ROAD WALK to tell EKITI people in one word “I AM TRULY SORRY.” Ask why? He was part of those that misled Nigerians and the Ekiti people.

The point is clear enough”.

“Ire o 🚶‍♂️”

Other Fayose fans said “Thank God BRA sege remember above the line. ☝️

“He was part of them. He should TENDER UNRESERVED APOLOGY to @H.E Ayo Fayose @H.E Olusola Eleka, PDP leaders and followers, Nigerians and Ekiti Kete home and away”.

After the arguments spend more than two hours on the platform, Oni fan said he will tell his principal to apologise but said the apology start from those who brought Fayemi in 2010.

Oni fan said “I am just smiling each time u ask him to apologise to Ekiti people. We also rated Fayemi govt low in his first coming for the poor level of performance in his first 4 years, I think one of our leaders to in PDP supported the same Fayemi. I will tell CSO to apologize but let the apology start from those who brought Fayemi in 2010”.
