Fayose and Oluyede Clash Over Oyebanji's Support

The political landscape in Ekiti State has become contentious as former governor Ayodele Fayose endorsed current governor Biodun Oyebanji, a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC). Fayose defended his support by stating that it is based on Oyebanji's performance and leadership style, which he believes promotes inclusivity and reduces political tension.

He commended President Bola Tinubu for his efforts to address Nigeria's economic challenges. In contrast, Wole Oluyede, the governorship candidate for the People's Democratic Party (PDP), openly distanced himself from Fayose's position, acknowledging Fayose's right to support any candidate but expressing differing views on Oyebanji's administration's performance.

Oluyede emphasized that the electorate in Ekiti will ultimately determine the state's future direction based on the candidates' records and programs. The exchange reflects growing debates within the PDP regarding the performance of Oyebanji's administration as the next governorship election approaches.
