President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, represented by Vice President Kashim Shettima, led a formidable coalition of political leaders to rally support for Governor Biodun Oyebanji’s re-election ahead of Saturday’s governorship election in Ekiti State.
At the APC mega rally in Ado-Ekiti, the President praised Oyebanji’s performance, describing him as a leader who came prepared for governance and has demonstrated commitment to people-centred leadership. “Governor Oyebanji understands the essence of leadership. He has carried everybody along—farmers, traders, students, traditional rulers, and political leaders,” Tinubu stated.
The Tinubu-led coalition, comprising 18 state governors, Senate President Godswill Akpabio, and APC National Chairman, Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, rallied for Oyebanji’s re-election.
In a symbolic gesture, Tinubu formally handed the governor over to former governors and party leaders, charging them to work for a decisive APC victory.
Notably, former Governor Ayodele Fayose, a key opposition figure, also endorsed Oyebanji, citing his inclusive leadership and ability to unite political stakeholders across party lines.
Governor Oyebanji, seeking re-election on his record of service, urged residents to remain peaceful on election day and promised accelerated development in a second term.
