As the 2026 governorship election draws nearer in Ekiti State, Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji (BAO) is redefining the political campaign landscape with fresh and uncommon approaches that set him apart from the traditional rhetoric of roads, hospitals, and infrastructure.

While many believe a sitting governor’s performance alone should guarantee victory, Oyebanji insists that political leadership is not just about projects but about building people, communities, and the future. His re-election campaign is championing distinct and less-explored issues that resonate deeply with both the grassroots and the global stage.

Among his priorities is mental wellness and political literacy ensuring that Ekiti people are not only physically healthy but also emotionally strong and civically aware. For him, democracy thrives when citizens truly understand government processes and participate meaningfully.

Another bold plank of Oyebanji’s campaign is his diaspora engagement strategy. With thousands of Ekiti sons and daughters contributing to global excellence abroad, the governor plans to build stronger bridges that allow them to invest, innovate, and influence policies back home, thereby making Ekiti a global player.

In addition, Oyebanji is anchoring his campaign on future-proofing Ekiti youth. Beyond the usual empowerment slogans, he is talking about preparing young people for the AI-driven, climate-conscious, and tech-powered global economy. His commitment is to build an Ekiti that competes not only in Nigeria but on the world stage.

Also central to his vision is the cultural economy leveraging Ekiti’s heritage, creativity, and indigenous values not just as identity markers but as industries capable of creating jobs, boosting tourism, and driving exports.

On governance itself, Governor Oyebanji is adopting the philosophy of “Governance as a Service.” He believes citizens deserve efficiency, transparency, and accountability. By promising open data platforms where every project and budget can be tracked, he is setting a new tone for how leaders must engage with their people.

As political observers note, these uncommon campaign factors are positioning Oyebanji not merely as a performing governor seeking re-election but as a visionary leader offering Ekiti a future-oriented and people-centered contract.

With these distinct approaches, Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji is not just asking Ekiti people to vote for continuity, he is asking them to join him in redefining politics, governance, and legacy in Ekiti State.
