Ekiti State governor, Kayode Fayemi has said he holds no grudge against his predecessor, Chief Segun Oni, for going against his victory by heading to court.
Fayemi revealed this yesterday as he reacted to his win at the Supreme Court in the eligibility suit filed by Oni.
His words, “Ekiti must move forward. Enough of these distractions. Enough of these recriminations over matters that ought not to go to court.
“It is very clear that I resigned in accordance with the constitution of the land and that the shenanigans that culminated in the White Paper that said Fayemi should not serve in public office have been dealt with in the appropriate law courts as the thrash that it was at the time.
“It also shows clearly that the primaries that took place in Ekiti for anyone who is objective enough was the cleanest, the fairest and most credible primaries that had ever taken place in the history of electioneering in Nigeria.
“Now that the highest court in the land has pronounced definitely on it, I hope he(Oni) would see it as a cue to play a more active role in the party.
“Oni, to the best of my knowledge, remains a member of the APC. I don’t believe he has removed himself from the party.
“But I think this would not lead to another round of recriminations and attacks,” he said. The governor, while swearing-in the new Head of Service, had urged him to be upright and provide the right leadership for the civil service.
“We will not tolerate any breach of the accord we have signed with Ekiti people. Do your best, justify the confidence reposed in you. Though people will be congratulating you, I commiserate with you because so much is expected of you, and you cannot afford to disappoint us.”
