He contended that there was “nothing so spectacular in the acclaimed political wizardry of Fayose” who twice defeated incumbent governors of the state at different times, describing the political acclaim of Fayose as “product of sentiment”.

Oni said: “About Fayose, this is not a game of arrogance. He is not larger than life as being speculated. He, along with others once deployed their political machinery against me in certain political contest but if you recall, I still emerged victorious. So, what are you talking about?”

He explained that his interest to contest the state’s number one position, was in response to the growing clamour for his candidature by many residents and major stakeholders, who he claimed, told him his services were “earnestly needed”.
