In advance of the June 20 governorship election, Mr. Biodun Oyebanji, the governor of Ekiti State and the state’s All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, has advised politicians and supporters to avoid violence, stating that his desire to win reelection is not worth the life of any Ekiti citizen.
The governor emphasized the importance of nonviolent, issue-based campaigns during the electioneering period while speaking at rallies in Emure, Ise/Orun, and Ikere Local Government Areas.
Oyebanji stated that the APC has peacefully run its campaigns throughout the state and urged party supporters to refrain from any actions that could incite disorder before to, during, or following the election.
In appreciation of the continuing infrastructure initiatives carried out by his administration and the federal government under President Bola Tinubu, including significant road improvements around the state, he further asked citizens to support the APC.
In addition to announcing plans to build the Olowe Museum to support local arts, culture, and tourism, the governor of Ise-Ekiti pledged that construction on the Ise-Ijan Road will soon begin.
He also urged party members to step up grassroots organizing in the run-up to the election, stating that he was confident the APC will win over a sizable portion of the state based on its performance in office.
Some Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) members in Emure-Ekiti defected to the APC during the rallies, while traditional leaders in the towns they visited prayed for the governor’s reelection.
