Shortly after the July 14, 2018 governorship election won by Kayode Fayemi, Oni had gone to court to challenge Fayemi’s eligibility to participate in the May 12, 2018 APC primary to select a governorship candidate for the party.
Leaders of the All Progressives Congress in Ifaki Ekiti Ward say the suspension of Segun Oni, former Governor of Ekiti State, is"embarrassing and illegal", as the process contravened the guidelines of the party.Oni was suspended indefinitely by executives in Ifaki Ward II, for alleged anti-party activities. However, a statement signed by Michael Durodola, Tayo Okanlawon, Ebenezer Ogunlana and Sola Ilori, noted that the said suspension cannot stand.
According to NAN, Durodola, Okanlawon, Ogunlana and Ilori dissociated themselves from the suspension, saying it was an act of disrespect for Oni, who was also the immediate past Deputy National Chairman of the party. “The concocted allegations were unfounded. Names of those said to have raised allegations of anti-party activities against Oni were not mentioned, neither was he invited.
