Tinubu Congratulates Oyebanji on Re-election as Ekiti Governor
President Bola Tinubu congratulates Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji on his victory in Saturday’s Ekiti State gubernatorial election.
In a statement issued on Sunday by Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Tinubu commended the people of Ekiti State for their peaceful and orderly conduct, and for reposing their trust in Governor Oyebanji.
He also commended law enforcement agencies for maintaining law and order.
He charged the Independent National Electoral Commission to continue to invest in conducting peaceful, free, fair and credible elections in Osun coming up in August and the general election next year.
With this victory, Oyebanji emerged as the first governor in the history of Ekiti State to win re-election back-to-back.
Tinubu noted that Oyebanji’s first term was marked by significant strides in infrastructure, agriculture, youth employment, education, healthcare, and rural development.
“The renewed mandate is therefore a clear vote of confidence in continuity, stability, and people-centred governance,” the statement said.
The President also urged Oyebanji to remain magnanimous in victory and carry all Ekiti people along as he consolidates on his achievements in the next four years.
He told those who contested in the election that “it is now time to rally round Oyebanji in the task of taking Ekiti to the next level of governance”.
Tinubu reaffirmed the Federal Government’s commitment to partnering with the Ekiti to deliver more dividends of democracy and accelerate the Renewed Hope Agenda across Nigeria.
