The Peoples Democratic Party candidate for the June 20 Ekiti State governorship election, Dr Oluwole Oluyede, has said he is ready to work with Governor Biodun Oyebanji to ensure President Bola Tinubu wins big in the 2027 general election.
Oluyede, who leads the Oluyede Progressive Alliance for Renewed Hope Agenda, believes continuity is needed for Tinubu to keep doing his “good works.”
The PDP leader made this statement in Ado Ekiti on Saturday. He spoke at his hometown, Ikere Ekiti, during a courtesy visit from Oyebanji on Friday.
He praised the governor for his commitment to building a better Ekiti State, calling him “a fantastic gentleman, kind, generous.”
He said, “He is working hard for a greater and more prosperous Ekiti. I commended him about three days ago. He is working hard on security in the state, and his investment in infrastructure is commendable.
“Apart from that, our meeting today is to secure the state further. We want to have free, fair and credible general elections. We are also working together to deliver a landslide victory for the President, who is doing a fantastic job. The governor is also doing a fantastic job in Ekiti.”
Oluyede mentioned that Oyebanji’s work in areas like security, infrastructure, and human capital development deserves praise. He linked the peace and security in Ekiti State to the governor’s ongoing efforts and investments in security.
He said, “Myself and Governor Oyebanji have been friends for a long time. We were in the same party, we diverged but we stuck together.”
Oyebanji, in his response, appreciated the PDP leader for his dedication to the state's progress. He said their collaboration centers on a shared goal of sustainable development and improving the lives of Ekiti residents.
The governor pointed out that their mutual commitment to the state’s development is what drives their work together. He thanked Oluyede for his “good spirit” and dedication to Ekiti’s growth.
He noted that whenever he meets Oluyede, their talks always focus on the state’s progress and advancement. Oyebanji mentioned that their aim to find lasting solutions to challenges facing the state has also brought them closer.
The governor described Oluyede as one of the most dedicated Ekiti indigenes he has met.
“And I must thank him for his generosity of spirit, for his commitment to the development of Ekiti State.
“Anytime I see Dr Oluyede, he is always talking about the development of the state, and that is what binds us together: the spirit of developing the state, finding solutions to all the problems and working together in maintaining peace in the state.
“And I am sure in the next few days, Ekiti people will see the result of our collaboration,” the governor said.
