Oyebanji Emerges as APC Governorship Candidate for 2026 Ekiti Poll

In a significant political development, Oyebanji has been selected as the APC governorship candidate for the 2026 Ekiti State election, following the withdrawal of his only rival, Atinuk Oluremi Omolayo. The decision was made during the party's primary election held at the Ekiti Parapo Pavilion in Ado Ekiti.

Oyebanji's candidacy was ratified by a motion moved by Senator Leader Opeyemi Bamidele and seconded by the Speaker of the Ekiti State House of Assembly, Adeoye Aribasoy. The unanimous support from the delegates solidified Oyebanji's position as the flag bearer for the upcoming election.
