Supreme Court Affirms Oyebanji as APC Candidate in Ekiti

The Supreme Court of Nigeria has upheld Governor Biodun Oyebanji's position as the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate in the recent governorship election in Ekiti State. This ruling came after a challenge from APC governorship aspirant Abimbola Olawunmi, which the court dismissed on Friday.

APC chieftain Henrich Akomolafe expressed his congratulations to Oyebanji in a statement issued in Ado Ekiti on Monday, describing the judgment as a significant victory for democracy and the collective will of the people of Ekiti State. Akomolafe emphasized that the ruling provides an opportunity for the Oyebanji administration to further its development agenda, focusing on peace, unity, and inclusive governance.

He called for political stakeholders to support the governor in delivering democratic dividends and urged Ekiti residents to remain united in their support. Akomolafe reaffirmed his commitment to initiatives that empower youth and promote entrepreneurship, highlighting the importance of investing in the state's young population for future development.
