Oyebanji Deserves Second Term, Say Fayose, Ojudu

A former governor of Ekiti State, Mr Ayodele Fayose, has described Governor Biodun Oyebanji as a performer and builder of a modern Ekiti, who deserves a second term.

Fayose, who spoke on behalf of his colleague former governors, during the final leg of Governor Oyebanji’s campaign tour of local government areas in Ado Ekiti yesterday, maintained that all the former governors are behind Oyebanji’s re-election for a second term, stressing that his brilliant and captivating performance must last till 2030 in the interest of the people.

Addressing a huge crowd of All Progressives Congress (APC) supporters at the Ekiti Parapo Pavilion, Fayose said he was confident that Governor Oyebanji would be victorious in the 20 June poll, adding that the Governor has no viable opponent that could pose any threat, on account of his exhilarating performance scorecard.

“I want to salute our Governor performer, the builder and the man of the moment who has brought all of us together.   want to let you know that I’m celebrating you right now.   I’m in my capacity as a leader in this state, interested in the development of the people.  His Governor abandoned him, and we are solidly behind him.  We are with you, and we will ever remain with you.

“I am not a member of APC, you all know my party.  But what is good has no other name.   want Oyebanji, popularly known as BAO, to remain in office till 2030.  He is a good leader.

“On behalf of all the former governors, I want to say that we remain with Governor Biodun Oyebanji and we want him to remain in office till 2030. We congratulate him. God bless, everybody”.

Another leader of the party and former Special Adviser on Political Matters to the President, Senator Babafemi Ojudu, said it will be a shame for the party to deliver anything less than 500,000 votes to retain the Governor’s seat.

According to Ojudu, “The Governor is the most accessible, the most friendly, he has been the most generous to our people.  In this election, the minimum we can give him is 500,000 votes.  And we thank him for the kind of change he has brought to Ekiti politics. I have told everybody that I have retired from politics, but he brought me out of retirement.  They said I can’t retire.

“He has become our leader in Ekiti.  He sees everybody as brothers, whether you are from Ado or Ikogosi, wherever you may come from.  All of us, both at home and in the Diaspora, will be around to vote for him.

“Governor Oyebanji is not a fake; he is an original Ekiti man, a solid Ekiti man, and we will continue to stand by him. We want to thank him for what he has done for us in Ekiti”.
