IMMEDIATE past Head of Service in Oyo state, Mr Soji Eniade is set to join the 2019 gubernatorial race, Mega Icon Magazine reliably gathered.

Sources close to the former Head of Service told our reporter that Eniade will officially announce his intention to run as Oyo Governor soon.

Last week Thursday, Eniade forayed into politics by registering as a member of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC in the state.
