Ado-Ekiti—THE Director-General of the Segun Oni Campaign Organization,
SOCO, Dr. Ife Arowosoge has said the rejection of Governor Ayodele Fayose’s car
gi
ft by the former governor was done in the interest of Ekiti workers.
Arowosoge, who spoke during the inauguration of the Advisory Committee of
the organisation, charged them to ensure the emergence of Chief Olusegun Oni at
the primary election scheduled to hold in April, 2018.
Governor Fayose had last month presented all former governors of the
state except Dr Kayode Fayemi with a car gift.
The Director General said: “Though, Fayose meant well with the gift, but
the question is why does he have to wait till this time before giving out the
cars.
“The former governors are entitled to it, it is their right and
privilege, not only the car, but residential houses, even at the Federal
Capital. Why then does he have to wait till when he has less than a year to
leave the office before recognising them?
“The timing to give out a jeep of about N52 million at the time state,
local government workers, and pensioners were being owed for several months
were what we quarrelled with and not the gift.”
He told the seven-man Advisory Committee, which was inaugurated at the
situation office, to secure 60 percent of the electoral votes for, Chief Segun
Oni.
He said: “We cannot on our own alone achieve this feat, many good heads
they say are better than few good ones. Apart from your love, loyalty and
commitment to Asiwaju Olusegun Oni, we are counting on your experience, good
track record of performance and reputation in your communities.”
Members of the committee include, Rt Hon Gbenga Odebunmi, Chief Biodun
Akin-Fasae, Hon Bunmi Akinniyi, Mr Gbenga Obayemi, Dr Dare Ojo. Others are Mr
Tunji Olatunde and Dr Bayo Arowolaju.
while the Secretary of SOCO and the Administrator of the office, Messrs
Lekan Oyebanji and Fola Afolalu would represent the situation office on the
committee.
