Below are a few words of wisdom for us in Ekiti State towards the coming governorship and Presidential elections come 2026 amd 27.

I met with Governor Biodun Oyebanji of Ekiti State to review progress on agriculture, infrastructure, security, and economic growth initiatives.

“Governor Oyebanji’s clear vision, prudent management, and focus on empowering the good people of Ekiti State to deliver his ‘Vision of Shared Prosperity’ reflects the spirit of our party, the All Progressives Congress and the Renewed Hope Agenda". ~President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, gcfr, The President and Grand Commander of Federal Republic of Nigeria (13th August, 2025).

“For you in Ekiti, you have never had it so good,”

“As Martin Luther King rightly said, we either learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools. I am quite delighted, the crème de la crème of Ekiti have aligned themselves with the governor for the greater good of Ekiti state.”

honestly I am very proud of Governor Oyebanji. He exhumes humility, he exhumes acceptability and accessibility. He has been able to carry all the tendencies in Ekiti State.

“We need Governors like Oyebanji in Nigeria. Governors that will work with everybody regardless of their political differences, Governors that will not chase shadows; Governors that have the capacity to be humble even at the height of their glories" ~ His Excellency Kashim Shettima gcon former Distinguished Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, two term governor of Borno State and the current Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (June 9, 2024).

“Ekiti has spoken and I agree in totality with everything Ekiti has said. I stand before you to endorse our President, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his second term in office."

“I also stand before you to endorse our Governor and his Deputy, Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji and Princess Monisade Afuye for a second term in office. Ladies and gentlemen, these endorsements are not for the fun of it.

“We have here, for the first time, all the former Governors of Ekiti standing here to endorse our Governor. Governor Fayemi sends his apologies for not being able to be here with us, but I have no doubt that he joins us in this endorsement as well. What I say, Governor Oyebanji has been working hard...... Otunba Adeniyi Adebayo,  the first executive governor of Ekiti State and former Honourable M8nister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (28th July, 2025).

Governor Oyebanji is a worthy Ekiti son who upholds the state's culture and traditions, and he always maintains the vision of the founding fathers .....

“even those who have purchased expression of interest and nomination forms should know that there is effectively “no vacancy” in the Ekiti State Government House" ..... Senator Ajibola Basiru, the National Secretary of All Progressive Congress (APC), 25th October, 2025

“there is no contest in Ekiti State , whoever is contesting with the Governor is only embarking on giveaways . I congratulate you people in advance . Governor Oyebanji is not only Asiwaju’s son , he is also our favorite at the National Assembly. He has performed well . He is God fearing and  humble . He is one of the Governors who stood by me to become Senate President and so I will stand by him now" ..... Senate President,  His Excellency (Senator Akpabio) 27th October, 2025

“You have tested Governor Oyebanji and find him suitable as a governor. He has done excellently well in the last three years. You know that if given a second term, he will do more. I know you will not let him down, he too will not disappoint you, be rest assured about this” Chief (Mrs) Monisade Afuye, the Deputy Governor of Ekiti State (15th July 2025)

Oyebanji’s performance in critical sector in the state such as infrastructure, education, agriculture, human capital development has distinguished him as a visionary leader that should be supported and encouraged to continue in the best interest of Ekiti people. ....... Senate Leader of the 10th National Assembly of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Senator  (Dr) Michael Opeyemi Bamidele (21th August, 2025)

“My personal comment is that Gov. Biodun Oyebanji is doing remarkably well. He has fulfilled his responsibilities effectively and I am fully in support of his re-election bid"

 ...... Senator Yemi Adaramodu. 

The Distinguished Senator Representing the good people of Ekiti South Senatorial District and the spokesperson for the Senate and Chairman, Senate Committee on Media and Public Affairs (13th July, 2025).

“Because the Governor has done well, he has over performed and we have all seen him, this is the first time we are having this kind of a thing where all political parties will endorse a sitting Governor. He has delivered on all the six pillars of his administration and Ekiti North has felt his presence, we have felt his impact in all the five local governments in Ekiti North and a good turn deserves another".

“So, I Senator Cyril Fasuyi, representing the good people of Ekiti North move a motion today the 29th of April, 2025 for the endorsement of Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji to continue and contest for second term from 2026 to 2030” .....  Senator Cyril Oluwole Fasuyi, The Distinguished Senator Representing Ekiti State North Senatorial District (29th April, 2025).

 “I am a democrat, so I cannot discourage anybody from contesting for the party’s ticket. Anybody who feels he is capable can contest for the party’s ticket.“

“What I am saying is that *as for me and my entire family, we are for Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji’s second term in office.”

We have all agreed that our governor is an Omoluabi who has performed exceedingly well within the last two years. And we all agreed that if we support him as our candidate, the people of Ekiti will joyfully follow us. So, the best thing to do is to rally support for him so he can continue the good governance till 2030. ...
