Ahead of the 2026 governorship election in Ekiti State, leaders, members and supporters of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state have been urged to form a united front and work in harmony.
The coordinator of Ekiti PDP Frontier Group, Hakeem Adebomojo, who gave the advice, said such will put the party in good stead for success at the poll.
Adebomojo who spoke during an interactive session with the state’s zonal representatives restated the group’s readiness to work with other leaders of the party to wrestle power from the incumbent Governor Abiodun Oyebanji in the next election through a united front.
While expressing the group’s commitment to party principles he condemned the Oyebanji-led administration in the state, describing it as an “affliction” that must not be allowed to rise again.
The zonal officials, Chief Adeola Ogunrinde and Mrs Lanre Fajuyi, who spoke through Chief Sanya Atofarati, the Southwest Publicity Secretary, commended the state’s Caretaker Committee under the chairmanship of Chief Dare Adeleke for its efforts to unite the party in the state.
The leaders praised the group for raising the party’s flag with pride.
Atofarati stated, “There is a need for cohesion among our party leaders, and this we have achieved beyond 80 per cent within the last six months of the pragmatic leadership of Chief Dare Adeleke as CTC chairman. We are glad that his committee enjoys the maximum support of PDP members and critical stakeholders.
“We commend the resilience and doggedness of the PDP Frontier Group; they are prominent leaders of our great party. They have consistently defended the party’s interests, and we assure them of our support.
“Ekiti people are not unaware of the fact that they are not getting value for the humongous resources accruing to the state and local governments under Oyebanji administration monthly, but are only waiting for the next election. Let the public be the judge if there is commensurate value for these funds”.
