Tinubu Congratulates Oyebanji on Ekiti Re-election Victory

President Bola Tinubu congratulated Biodun Oyebanji, the re-elected governor of Ekiti State, calling the election outcome a "clear vote of confidence" that reflects the people's trust in his leadership. The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared Oyebanji, representing the All Progressives Congress (APC), the winner of the governorship election held on Saturday.

Tinubu praised the citizens of Ekiti State for their peaceful and orderly conduct during the elections and acknowledged the role of law enforcement agencies in maintaining order. He emphasized the importance of INEC in conducting free, fair, and credible elections in Nigeria, particularly with the upcoming Osun governorship election and the general elections next year.

Oyebanji's re-election marks a significant achievement as he becomes the first governor in Ekiti State's history to win back-to-back terms. His first term was noted for advancements in infrastructure, agriculture, youth employment, education, healthcare, and rural development.
