Ekiti 2026: Former Gov, Fayose roots for APC’s Oyebanji’s re-election

Ekiti 2026: Former Gov, Fayose roots for APC’s Oyebanji’s re-election

Former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has expressed his support for the reelection of Biodun Oyebanji as the governor of the state come 2026.

Fayose made this statement on Wednesday during the Commissioning of Ikeja GRA Network of Roads in the Lagos State capital.

Fayose, who is a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and stays in Lagos, applauded the All Progressives Congress, APC, administration in Lagos for elevating the state capital to the same status as the highbrow Ikoyi area.

The ex-Ekiti governor also said, though a member of the PDP, he would support Oyebanji of the APC, for reelection in 2026.

“This place is now our own Ikoyi…You and your deputy have turned GRA to Ikoyi GRA,”

“I am one Nigerian who will not say what I don’t mean even if they will kill me. I will say it. I am not a member of APC, let me put that on record again. I am not a member of APC and I will never be a member but I will not shy away from the fact that what is good is good.

“When the news of your nomination came about six years ago, (there were) so many reservations but you have proved the bookmakers wrong, including myself. All the bookmakers, you have proved us wrong that it is not the colour of the pack but what is right inside that thing. You are a different breed of politician.

“You brought everybody together like my governor in Ekiti, Oyebanji, brought everybody together. I always tell people who care to listen, I am a PDP member but I will support Oyebanji in the next election. It is not about politics, it is who Oyebanji is,” Fayose said.

DAILY POST recalls that in June 2022, Oyebanji defeated PDP’s Bisi Kolawole and Olusegun Oni of the Social Democratic Party, SDP, to succeed Kayode Fayemi as Ekiti State governor.

Oyebanji was later sworn in October of the same year.
