Oyebanji Launches APC Campaign Council for 2027 Elections

On October 30, 2026, Ekiti State Governor Biodun Oyebanji inaugurated the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council, emphasizing the need for aggressive grassroots mobilization and voter tracking to support President Bola Tinubu in the upcoming 2027 general election. The council consists of 157 members, including political leaders, federal appointees, and members of the National Assembly.

Oyebanji, who serves as the state coordinator and chairman of the council, highlighted the importance of identifying eligible voters who did not participate in the June 20 governorship election, where only about 400,000 out of over one million registered voters cast their votes. He tasked the council with developing a comprehensive voter-tracking structure across all 16 local government areas within two weeks.

Senator Opeyemi Bamidele, representing the council, pledged commitment to the task, citing the recent governorship election as a source of momentum for the APC.
