APC Campaign Council Holds Post-Election Appraisal, Commends Ekiti Electorate for Historic Victory.

Following the overwhelming victory of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the June 20, 2026 governorship election in Ekiti State, the party's Campaign Council has commenced a comprehensive post-election appraisal of its activities and performance across the state.

The inaugural appraisal meeting was held on Sunday, July 12, 2026, at the Campaign Council's Situation Office. The meeting was presided over by the Director General of the Campaign Council, Distinguished Senator Cyril Fasuyi.

Present at the meeting were the Ekiti State Commissioner for Finance, Mr. Akintunde Oyebode; the three Senatorial Directors of Mobilisation, Hon. Babade Kayode (Ekiti South), Chief Remi Oguntuase (Ekiti Central), and Mrs. Kemi Olaleye (Ekiti North). Also in attendance were the State Director of Mobilisation, Mr. Sunkanmi Onipede; the Secretary of the Directorate, Asipa Ayodeji Adarabierin; and Otunba Lekan Oyebanji, among other stakeholders.

The meeting, convened by the leadership of the APC Campaign Council under the chairmanship of the Senate Leader, Distinguished Senator Michael Opeyemi Bamidele (MOB), was aimed at reviewing the activities of the Campaign Council and assessing its performance in relation to the outcome of the June 20 governorship election, which returned Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji with a resounding mandate.

As part of the appraisal process, the Director General received feedback from members of the various directorates, while an interactive session was scheduled with the 38 Local Government and Local Council Development Area Directors of Mobilisation to evaluate the campaign from the polling unit level up to the State Collation Centre.

The interactive exercise, which commenced yesterday and concluded today, provided an opportunity for participants to identify strengths, examine challenges encountered during the campaign, and document lessons that would further strengthen the party's electoral machinery.

The Campaign Council described the exercise as unprecedented in Ekiti's political history, noting that it reflects the party's commitment to continuous improvement, accountability, and institutional learning despite recording a landslide victory at the polls.

Speaking during the meeting, Senator Cyril Fasuyi expressed profound appreciation to all stakeholders, party faithful, campaign officials, and the people of Ekiti State, for their steadfast support, commitment, and confidence in the APC.

He also conveyed the appreciation of Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji to the electorate for the overwhelming mandate given to the party. The Governor, through the Campaign Council, equally thanked the national leadership of the APC and expressed special gratitude to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, for his steadfast support throughout the campaign.

The Council thereafter passed a vote of confidence on the entire campaign structure, including the Campaign Council, all Directorates, the Women Campaign Council headed by the Ekiti State First Lady, Dr. Olajumoke Olayemi Oyebanji, and every individual who contributed to the success of the election.

In his vote of thanks, the commissioner for information, Rt. Hon. Taiwo Olatunbosun, paid glowing tribute to Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji, describing him as a leader whose humility, inclusiveness, and commitment to the development of Ekiti inspired the confidence of the people.

He equally appreciated members of the Campaign Council and various committees for their dedication and sacrifices throughout the electioneering period, while also extending gratitude to Governor Oyebanji and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for their invaluable support to the APC in Ekiti State.
