The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Nigeria’s South-West zone has praised voters in Ekiti State for their massive turnout and support in re-electing Governor Biodun Oyebanji for a second term in office.
In a statement issued in Ibadan on Monday by the zonal Publicity Secretary, Ayobami Afolabi, the party described the victory as unprecedented and a clear endorsement of the quality leadership provided by both Governor Oyebanji and President Bola Tinubu.
“Oyebanji’s re-election is not only unprecedented but a testament to the fact that most Nigerians appreciate the quality leadership being offered by both the governor and President Bola Tinubu,” the statement said.
According to the APC, about 90 per cent of the total votes cast across Ekiti’s 16 local government areas went to the party’s candidate, reflecting the people’s decision to continue trusting the “Broom Party.”
The party noted that Oyebanji became the first sitting governor in Ekiti State to secure re-election, defeating candidates from about 13 other political parties in the Saturday poll.
Afolabi assured that the APC would not take the renewed mandate for granted. He urged the governor and other elected officials to redouble efforts in delivering quality leadership, innovation, and effective service to the people.
Looking ahead to the forthcoming Osun State governorship election, the zonal APC expressed confidence that voters there would also choose progressive leadership.
The statement further called on South-West stakeholders to revive the developmental ideals of the region’s founding fathers, particularly the progressive philosophy championed by the late Chief Obafemi Awolowo.
While thanking Ekiti voters, Afolabi encouraged them to sustain their support for the APC and President Tinubu in future elections, promising greater dividends of democracy in return.
