Senate Leader Opeyemi Bamidele moved the motion reaffirming President Tinubu’s candidacy, which was seconded by House of Representatives member Olusola Fatoba. Speaker Aribasoye also moved the motion for Governor Oyebanji’s re-election, seconded by Chief Whip Bose Olowookere. Both motions were unanimously adopted by a loud voice vote, symbolizing a united front within the Ekiti APC.
Former Governors Niyi Adebayo and Kayode Fayemi urged members not to be complacent ahead of the 2026 governorship election. Fayemi, while commending Governor Oyebanji’s performance, assured of his full commitment to the APC and pledged to mobilize support for Oyebanji’s victory at both the primaries and the general election. He expressed confidence that Oyebanji would break the long-standing jinx of one-term governors in the state.
Speaking on behalf of National Assembly members, Senator Opeyemi Bamidele pledged their collective support to ensure Oyebanji’s return to office.
