The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekiti South Senatorial District has thrown its weight behind Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji and his deputy, Chief (Mrs) Monisade Afuye, for another term in office, dismissing critics as “jobless caucuses” bent on spreading falsehoods.
Speaking with journalists in his Ikere-Ekiti office, the APC South Senatorial Secretary and Elder Forum Secretary, Afuye Oluwaseun, described Mrs Monisade Afuye as “a competent and diligent public servant who has discharged her duties with loyalty and excellence.”
The forum condemned what it termed “jobless and faceless caucuses” peddling falsehoods against the deputy governor, dismissing such claims as baseless.
According to the group, Governor Oyebanji has continued to express admiration for Afuye’s hard work, dedication, and loyalty, both to the state’s development agenda and to the APC.
“As far as we are concerned, the leadership of the APC in Ekiti State has endorsed both the Governor and his deputy for continuity till 2030. This is unshakable,” the statement read.
Highlighting her competence, the forum cited several instances where Mrs Afuye represented the governor on high-profile occasions, including at a meeting of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF) held in Abuja, as well as other critical state and party functions.
“She has always demonstrated the capacity to stand in for her principal without any lapse, and this is evident in the smooth relationship she enjoys with the Governor and the party leadership,” the statement added.
The movement urged party members and residents to ignore smear campaigns, noting that “Ekiti South stands solidly behind BAO/MCA for the progress and stability of our dear state.”
