APC Hails Oyebanji’s Historic Re-election Victory in Ekiti

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has congratulated Ekiti State Governor, Biodun Oyebanji, on his re-election, describing the outcome as a historic endorsement of his administration by the people of the state.

In a statement issued on Sunday by its National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, the ruling party said Oyebanji’s victory marked a significant milestone in Ekiti’s democratic journey, noting that he had become the first incumbent governor in the state’s contemporary history to secure re-election.

The party attributed the victory to what it described as the governor’s people-oriented leadership style, development-focused policies and commitment to improving the welfare of residents.

According to the APC, the election result reflected the confidence reposed in Oyebanji by the electorate and served as a validation of his administration’s performance over the past four years.

“Governor Oyebanji’s victory is epic as he becomes the first incumbent governor to win re-election in the state’s contemporary democratic history,” the statement said.

The party also commended the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), security agencies and other stakeholders involved in the electoral process for their roles in ensuring a successful exercise.

It praised the peaceful conduct of voters and their participation throughout the election, describing their support as a reaffirmation of the APC’s progressive ideals and programmes.

The ruling party expressed appreciation to the people of Ekiti State for what it termed their steadfast support for the governor and the party.

The APC further voiced confidence that Oyebanji’s second term would bring accelerated development and improved living standards for residents, while advancing the objectives of President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda in the state.

“We are confident that Governor Oyebanji’s second term will deliver more development and improved living conditions for the people,” the party stated.

Oyebanji was declared winner of the governorship election after securing victory across the state’s local government areas, extending the APC’s hold on power in Ekiti State.
