APC Denies Health Rumors About Governor Oyebanji

The All Progressives Congress (APC), Ekiti State chapter, has dismissed a publication regarding the health of Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji as false and malicious. In a statement issued on Thursday by Publicity Secretary Segun Dipe, the party condemned the report as “conjecture, blatant lie and unnecessary speculation,” aimed at misleading the public and inciting panic.

The APC did not specify the publication or its author but asserted that Governor Oyebanji is “hale, hearty, and fully focused on delivering good governance.” The party emphasized that there was “no iota of truth” in the report and called on residents to remain calm and ignore what it termed fake news. The APC reaffirmed its support for Oyebanji, who is set to be sworn in for a second term on October 16, 2026, after winning the June 20 governorship election with 319,224 votes across the state’s 16 local government areas.
