Ekiti State Governor, Biodun Oyebanji, has declared his intention to seek a second term in office on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
He made the declaration on Monday during a meeting with the APC Central Working Committee at the party’s secretariat in Ado-Ekiti.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), has scheduled the governorship election for June 20, 2026.
Oyebanji said he is motivated by the widespread support and encouragement he has received across the state and is determined to consolidate on his administration’s achievements.
He thanked party leaders for their trust and reaffirmed that he has fulfilled all his campaign promises.
Describing the APC in Ekiti as a united family, the governor pledged to sustain its appeal and honour its elders.
On the party’s ticket, Oyebanji said the race remains open to all aspirants and urged citizens to collect their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) in preparation for the polls.
He also appreciated President Bola Tinubu for supporting Ekiti, saying federal economic policies have contributed to the state’s development.
APC Chairman in Ekiti, Sola Elesin, commended Oyebanji for his leadership, describing him as a humble and unifying figure whose performance has strengthened the party and maintained peace.
