In Ekiti State, a powerful message of unity and confidence has just been sent. The All Progressives Congress (APC) has chosen Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji as its sole candidate for the next governorship election through a consensus built on trust, loyalty, and performance. This decision is not just political; it reflects the people’s collective belief that good leadership deserves continuity.
Governor Oyebanji’s endorsement by consensus is the natural result of three years of steady, result-driven leadership. His calm approach, humility, and accessibility have earned him deep respect across political lines. Under his watch, Ekiti has witnessed meaningful progress in infrastructure, education, youth development, and human capital investment. His leadership is defined by quiet efficiency, and by genuine service, not self-interest.
The consensus that produced him was born out of sincerity, not imposition. Across all parts of the state, voices called for continuity because the people could see and feel the difference his administration has made. Civil servants, artisans, traditional rulers, and young people have experienced positive changes that speak louder than promises. The numerous endorsements that followed were simply the people’s way of saying, “Let the good work continue.”
The people of the state have spoken clearly — “We endorse you for continuity.” In response, the APC as a responsible political party has said, “We cannot deny the will of the people.” The party, therefore, chose to present Governor Oyebanji to the electorate through consensus, recognizing that his leadership reflects the genuine aspirations of the people and the collective desire for sustained progress.
Governor Oyebanji’s competence and calm strength stand out. He listens before he acts, carries everyone along, and leads without arrogance. His inclusive leadership has united the party, reduced friction, and strengthened the APC’s internal harmony. In a political climate often marked by rivalry, Ekiti has become an example of peace and maturity under his guidance.
Loyalty remains one of his strongest traits. From his early days in public service to his rise as governor, Oyebanji has remained faithful to the APC and to the ideals that shaped him. He acknowledges his political mentors, respects party structures, and still makes independent, thoughtful decisions. This blend of loyalty and wisdom has earned him trust both within the party and among ordinary citizens.
His ability to unite people across divides also explains why the consensus was smooth and widely accepted. He has built bridges where walls once stood. In a state once known for political tension, he has restored calm, respect, and a sense of shared purpose.
The APC’s decision to adopt him through consensus is, therefore, more than a political strategy; it is a reward for competence, loyalty, and inclusive leadership. It shows that the people and the party want to build on what works instead of starting afresh. By choosing agreement over competition, the party has reaffirmed its unity and strengthened the foundation of progress in Ekiti.
As Governor Oyebanji marks his third anniversary in office, this endorsement serves as a strong validation of his leadership. It sends a clear message: the people trust you, your work speaks for you, and we want you to continue. It is both a celebration of the journey so far and a renewal of confidence in the future.
Governor Biodun Oyebanji’s story is a reminder that leadership is not about loudness but impact, not about division but unity, and not about power but service. His steady hands and open heart have brought stability and direction to Ekiti State.
As Ekiti people celebrate three years of purposeful governance, the consensus that surrounds him represents more than politics — it represents hope. It is a consensus of trust, built on performance, peace, and shared vision.
Congratulations to His Excellency, Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji, on his well-deserved consensus endorsement and his remarkable three years of steady leadership. May his tenure continue to strengthen unity, deepen progress, and inspire lasting development across Ekiti State.
