Senator Babafemi Ojudu, CON, has declared his full support for the second-term bid of Governor Biodun Oyebanji, as members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) across the 16 local government areas of Ekiti State converge on Ado Ekiti to endorse the governor.
In a statement personally signed on Sunday, Ojudu said although he could not attend the event due to engagements outside the state, he stands firmly with the decision of the party faithful.
“I wholeheartedly align myself with this collective aspiration. I believe he has earned the trust and confidence of the people and deserves the opportunity to continue his work,” the former presidential aide stated.
Ojudu, who was present at the Central Senatorial District’s earlier endorsement of the governor, described Oyebanji as a focused and effective administrator who has made tangible impact despite limited resources.
He particularly praised the governor’s role in maintaining peace and political stability in the state.
“Since taking office, Ekiti has enjoyed an unprecedented atmosphere of political calm. There have been no reports of political assassinations, targeted violence, or harassment of opponents, whether within or outside our party,” he noted.
Ojudu urged stakeholders to preserve the peaceful environment as the 2026 election season approaches. He stressed the importance of free and fair competition, allowing every aspirant to campaign without fear or intimidation.
“Democracy thrives when all voices can be heard. Let the people decide at the ballot box-freely and fairly,” he added.
He concluded by expressing confidence that the governor’s performance and goodwill will earn him a second term.
“Let us keep the peace, strengthen our democracy, and move Ekiti forward,” Ojudu said.
