Ex-Ekiti Governor Segun Oni Defects to APC, Boosting Party's Strength
Segun Oni, a former Governor of Ekiti State, has switched his political allegiance from the SDP to the APC, becoming a registered member of the ruling party. This move is seen as a significant boost to the APC's base in Ekiti State, especially as preparations for the 2026 Ekiti governorship election and the 2027 general elections begin.
Adesola Adedayo, a youth development commissioner, confirmed Oni's defection, highlighting his popularity as a grassroots politician. The defection comes amidst ongoing registration exercises in the APC, with other notable figures like Biodun Oyebanji also revalidating their memberships.
