"I am very much pleased with what I have been seeing in Ekiti State since we left the stage. I am particularly pleased with what has happened in the last one year plus. I told the Governor quite plainly that he is on the right track and if he keeps doing what he has been doing and you Ekiti people give peace a chance, the task of making Ekiti State a better place will be achieved sooner than later."

First Military Administrator, Ekiti State

"I am happy to say that this government has been very passionate about the welfare of pensioners. I hereby confirm that on the 20th of the month, my pension is paid and on behalf of all of us the 'young' pensioners, I commend Governor Segun Oni for this." 

Chief Ayo Ogunlade

"He has done very well. Please, all Ekiti indigenes should support him. From what we have seen today, I am proud of him. He has also selected the best hands to work with him. Ben Oguntuase, the man that has been speaking with us, you may not know him. When he was in the university, he was one of the best students. He was called Big Ben then."

Chief Ebenezer Babatope

"I only heard about Engr. Segun Oni before the run-up to the 2007 general elections about two years ago. Since then, however, I have had the opportunity of seeing him at close quarters and I have discussed with him. 

knowledge of him before he became the Governor and now that he is the Governor shows that he is a super gentleman, a practicing Christian with good family background,. a highly cultured man with tremendous respect for our traditional values, a highly gifted, intelligent and witty man who always keeps his cool no matter the heat and a respectful man who has never allowed the high office to get into his head. His respect for people of all ages particularly the elders is intimidating. 

Since his coming to power about twenty months ago, Governor Segun Oni has made remarkable achievements in spite of the numerous and frightening problems that he inherited from the previous administrations and distractions by his detractors. When you succeed into a society where there had been different orientations about governance, you will be faced with the difficult task of reorientation. In spite of all, he has made tremendous progress and impact

particularly in the areas of education, peace, health, agriculture, general

infrastructural developments and so on"
