Ekiti State Governor and All Progressives Congress governorship candidate, Mr Biodun Oyebanji, on Friday inaugurated 5,000 canvassers for his re-election as well as that of President Bola Tinubu.
The 5,000 Person-to-Person Community Canvassers for Biodun Oyebanji/Monisade Afuye and President Bola Tinubu were put together by the Director-General, Bureau of Community Communications, Mrs Mary Oso-Omotosho.
Oyebanji, who expressed appreciation to the canvassers for volunteering to secure voters for his re-election as well as that of the President, urged peaceful conduct by mobilisers, party members and opposition members ahead of the June 20 governorship election.
The governor, while seeking Ekiti people’s votes for the APC in the 2026 governorship and 2027 general elections, said, “The only way to say thank you to President Tinubu for all he has been doing for Ekiti State is to come out en masse to vote on June 20 and test the microphone.”
Oyebanji expressed confidence that the APC would win the Ekiti governorship election, saying the party was interested in a huge vote margin, adding that such would count for hope-raising in the 2027 polls.
“For the presidential election, we don’t want to leave anyone behind. I will hold you to your promises, and it is doable.
“As you continue with this evangelism, please be at peace with everybody. We are one in Ekiti State; we should not allow politics to divide us. I don’t want you to fight with anyone,” he said.
The governor also appealed to contestants and opposition party members to play the game with decency, adding, “Let everybody go and sell themselves and their manifestoes to the people of Ekiti State and let the people make their choice. No ambition is worth the blood of any citizen.”
