OYEBANJI CONGRATULATES AYEDATIWA ON APPEAL COURT VICTORY.

Governor Oyebanji, in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media, Mr Yinka Oyebode, said the verdict of the Appellate Court is a confirmation of the popular mandate given to Governor Ayedatiwa in the last governorship election in the Sunshine State.

The Court of Appeal in a judgment on Thursday dismissed the appeal filed by the People's Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate, Hon. Agboola Ajayi and upheld the judgment of the Tribunal which had earlier declared Governor Ayedatiwa as the rightful winner of the poll.

Governor Oyebanji described Ayedatiwa's latest triumph at the court as a victory for democracy and rule of law, which has enriched the nation's electoral jurisprudence.

The Ekiti State Governor said the concurrence of both the Governorship Election Petition Tribunal and the Court of Appeal is a proof that the Ondo governorship poll, which gave Governor Ayedatiwa the mandate was free, fair, credible and conducted in line with the nation's electoral law.

He urged Governor Ayedatiwa to see his victory as a motivation to renew his commitment to working harder for the development of Ondo State and better welfare for its citizens.

Governor Oyebanji also appealed to the opposition to join hands with Governor Ayedatiwa in the task of taking Ondo State to greater heights.

“I congratulate my dear brother, Governor Aiyedatiwa for this victory that has further confirmed his election as free, fair and credible. I also congratulate the leadership of our great party- the All Progressives Congress (APC), and the good people of Ondo State for the victory.”, the Governor said.

Adaramodu Reaffirms Senate’s Commitment to Inclusive Governance.

The Chairman of the Senate Committee on Youth Development, Senator Yemi Adaramodu, on Thursday restated the National Assembly’s commitment to inclusive governance and stronger collaboration with civil society organisations.

Adaramodu, who represented the Senate President, Senator Godswill Akpabio, spoke at the Civil Society Summit held in Abuja. The event brought together stakeholders from civil society groups, advocacy networks, and development partners to discuss ways to deepen democracy, enhance civic engagement, and promote good governance in Nigeria.

Delivering Akpabio’s message, Adaramodu described civil society as a critical partner in nation-building, stressing that lawmakers recognise the sector’s role in shaping public discourse, amplifying the voices of the marginalized, and holding government accountable.

“We recognise the invaluable role civil society organisations play in shaping public discourse, advocating for the voiceless, and holding government accountable. As legislators, we are not just lawmakers but partners in progress,” he said.

The Ekiti South Senator added that the 10th Senate is committed to people-centred legislation that prioritises youth empowerment, good governance, and social justice.

According to him, civil society remains vital in deepening democratic values, protecting human rights, and driving grassroots development. He assured participants of the Senate’s readiness to provide legislative backing for reforms that would advance these goals.

The summit featured interactive sessions on electoral reforms, civic participation, social accountability, and social inclusion, with active contributions from prominent advocates, policymakers, and development partners.
