The Social Democratic Party (SDP) candidate in the June 18 governorship election in Ekiti State, Segun Oni has explained why he left the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, for the Social Democratic Party, SDP.
Oni spoke during a debate in Ado Ekiti, the Ekiti State capital, saying his decision was not borne out of desperation.
According to him, the way the PDP held its governorship primary election in the State was not conducive enough.
“It is not desperation. I do not like cheating. I don’t cheat and don’t like people to cheat. If I see a party that has no respect for its own rules, I see it as not my type of party.

“I contested the PDP primaries and it was supposed to be a secret ballot and the world saw how it became open to the extent that one man was being shown in every ballot. I detest cheating and don’t collaborate with cheats,” he added.
