Tinubu Urges Ekiti Politicians to Support Oyebanji's Governance

President Bola Tinubu cautioned members of the political class in Ekiti State against distracting Governor Biodun Oyebanji by prematurely declaring interest in the 2030 governorship contest. He stated that such declarations could create internal contradictions that might derail governance.

Tinubu made these remarks during a thanksgiving service following Oyebanji's inauguration for a second term, which was attended by Vice President Kashim Shettima. He urged politicians to prioritize the state's interests over personal ambitions and warned that early declarations would be detrimental to progress.

Tinubu commended Oyebanji for a successful first term and encouraged him to maintain humility and accessibility. He highlighted the significance of continuity in governance and urged Oyebanji to resist negative influences during his second term, emphasizing that loyalty to the governor equates to loyalty to Ekiti.
