Former Ekiti State Governor Olusegun Oni has officially rejoined the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) after completing his registration at his country home in Ifaki Ekiti.
The news was confirmed on Monday, January 12, 2026, by Adesola Adedayo, the Coordinator of the APC e-registration exercise in Ekiti State and the Commissioner for Youth Development.
Adedayo celebrated the former governor’s return, noting that his registration on Sunday provided a significant boost to the party’s digital enrollment program.

Oni previously served as governor from 2007 to 2010 under the PDP and was the Social Democratic Party (SDP) candidate in the 2022 governorship race.
Describing the move as a “seismic shift,” Adedayo remarked:“On Sunday, we registered former Governor Segun Oni as a member of our great party. This significant political move will help the ongoing online registration of our members in Ekiti. When it comes to grassroots politics, former Governor Oni is a respected individual in this aspect. He is well-loved at the grassroots and the intention of our registration is to attract more people into the APC. Having an individual like the former governor with us at this crucial time is a big plus.”
The commissioner emphasized that Oni’s defection—occurring just a day after Governor Biodun Oyebanji revalidated his own membership—will strengthen the party’s winning streak ahead of the 2026 state polls and the 2027 general elections.
He described Oni as “a resourceful and popular leader, who will add tremendous value to the party.”
Adedayo urged party leaders to maintain their mobilization efforts, reminding them that:“This exercise is very important as it will strengthen our party’s structures and ensure proper documentation of members at the grassroots. The exercise is crucial to the reelection of Governor Biodun Oyebanji in the June 20 governorship election. This further makes the e-registration more worthwhile for the members of the party in Ekiti.”
