President Bola Tinubu has congratulated Ekiti State Governor Biodun Oyebanji on his landslide victory in Saturday’s governorship election.
In a statement issued on Sunday by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, Tinubu commended the people of Ekiti State for conducting a peaceful and orderly election and for reposing their trust in the governor.
The President also praised security agencies for ensuring law and order during the poll. Tinubu described Oyebanji as the first governor in Ekiti State’s history to secure back-to-back re-election, noting that the victory represents a strong vote of confidence in continuity and people-centred governance.
He urged the governor to remain magnanimous in victory and to carry all stakeholders along as he consolidates on his achievements in infrastructure, agriculture, education, healthcare, and youth development.
The President called on other candidates and political parties to rally behind Oyebanji for the overall interest of Ekiti State.
INEC declared Oyebanji winner after he polled 319,224 votes, defeating his closest rivals from the PDP and ADC.
