Engr.Oni made this disclosure while speaking wiith journalists at his country home in Ifaki- Ekiti on Tuesday. According to him, his supporters were receiving threats from Fayemi’ s camp, rather than sportsmanship respect from Dr.Fayemi.

He said, “ I have a responsibility to protect my supporters. But this habit of winners take all and what we are hearing that Segun Oni’ s boys will be in the cooler for four years if APC wins is what I won’ t tolerate.

“We are not scavenging , neither are we scavengers . We have been receiving pressure from different parties that we should come for the tickets, but we said no, because we want this to be an example and become a new thinking that when you lose the primary , you must stay in your party even when you are popular.

“ But if they continue to harass my supporters , I may quit the party, because I have the responsibility not only to protect them but to ensure that they are not taken for a ride , ” the former Ekiti State Governor observed.

Recall that Engr. Oni has issued statement congratulating Dr.Fayemi for his victory at the rescheduled poll which held last weekend in Ekiti. During the poll, Fayemi won the primary by polling 941 votes ahead of Oni, who polled 481 votes, among other 31 aspirants.

Meanwhile, President Mohammed Buhari has fixed a meeting with Kayode Fayemi, Segun Oni, Babafemi Ojudu and other aspirants who participated in the party's Governorship Primary.

The meeting which was scheduled 8:30pm to hold at the Presidential Villa, was initiated by President Buhari to ensure all the aspirants work together and forget their grievances, in order to ensure the party’s victory in July.
