With the Ekiti governorship election set for June 20, 2026, former governor Kayode Fayemi has urged members of the All Progressives Congress to stay alert and avoid taking any rival party lightly as the contest draws closer.
Fayemi gave the warning in Ekiti State during the annual gathering of APC leaders held at his Isan Ekiti residence, where party figures met to review preparations for Governor Biodun Oyebanji’s re-election bid.
He said the call was necessary because elections are won through steady work, unity, and strong grassroots action, not by assuming victory is guaranteed due to weak opposition.
Fayemi noted that while the Oyebanji administration has posted strong results in governance, political effort must match performance, stressing that party members must work across wards and local councils to secure a clear win.
Governor Oyebanji, speaking at the event, thanked Fayemi and party leaders for their backing and said the APC must move into the election as one team, with loyalty and shared responsibility guiding its actions.
Other party leaders at the gathering praised the state government’s impact over the past three years, saying the administration’s record has strengthened the APC’s standing and boosted confidence ahead of the 2026 polls.
