Gov Oyebanji declares interest for second term.

Ekiti State Governor, Biodun Oyebanji, has formally declared his intention to seek a second term in office. 

The governor made the declaration during a meeting with members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Central Working Committee at the APC secretariat in Ado-Ekiti, citing the overwhelming wave of public endorsement and political support across the state as part of his decision to run again. 

Governor Oyebanji expressed appreciation to the party leadership for their support and thanked President Bola Tinubu for his endorsement, saying that his decision was made to consolidate on the gains of his first term and to continue delivering quality governance.

Emphasizing that the APC in Ekiti remains one united family, he dismissed claims of internal crisis, pledging his loyalty to former governors of the state, who he described as "leaders of the party," and assuring them that his administration would continue to honour them as elder statesmen and foundational pillars of the APC.

The governor urged citizens to obtain their Permanent Voter Cards ahead of the June 2026 governorship election and thanked President Tinubu for his continued support to the state, reiterating his commitment to internal democracy and said any interested aspirant within the party was free to contest for the APC ticket.
