Ekiti State Governor, Biodun Oyebanji, on Monday received a major political endorsement as former Governor Ayodele Fayose declared support for his re-choice bid.
Fayose, a chieftain of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), made the announcement during an All Progressives Congress (APC) gathering held at the Ekiti Parapo Pavilion in Ado Ekiti. Despite belonging to a rival party, Fayose explained Oyebanji’s performance in office has earned him cross-party support.
“I hunger for to publicly endorse Governor Abayomi Oyebanji and his deputy for a second term,” Fayose stated, adding that political differences should not override the must have for worthy governance.
The endorsement was made in the presence of APC leaders, former Ekiti governors, and National Assembly members. Fayose also used the platform to telephone on all Ekiti citizens to rally behind the Oyebanji administration in the next governorship ballot.
He, even so, clarified that he has not defected from the PDP. “I remain in my party, but when we notice positive governance, we must speak it,” he declared.
Governor Oyebanji has yet to formally declare his re-referendum bid, but Monday’s public backing from a chief opposition figure signals the commencement of political alignments ahead of the next poll.
