Otunba In the 2026 gubernatorial election, Emmanuel Ajisafe Fayose, also known as DOME, has pledged to unseat Biodun Oyebanji, the governor of Ekiti State, claiming the governor has performed below the pass mark.

On Friday, the PDP chairman gave a speech at the Ansar-u-deen Central Mosque in Odo otu, Ado Ekiti.

The candidate for governor, who claimed to be at the mosque in support of the Muslims, gave them gifts of food and money.

“I came to felicitate with my Muslim brothers and sisters during this Ramadan fast and to give them gift. This gift would serve as a relief to many families here today and I promise not to be far away from them,” Fayose stated.

The candidate criticized Oyebanji for his “cosmetics” accomplishments, claiming that governing is about putting the welfare and basic needs of the people first.

He said, “I have something better than what you are currently getting, Ekiti residents deserve more than what they are getting. This APC government in Ekiti and Nigeria has not done well, they fail to provide basic needs of the masses; No job opportunities, majority of our youths are riding okada to make ends meet, no social amenities and people are hungry; an hungry man is an angry man, there is no food. To feed once a day is hard, everything is expensive.

“APC government is not doing well at all, if they can’t govern well, they should handover the government.:The masses are suffering, there are no social amenities such as electricity, road network, no job, no adequate security.

“A responsible government has to put food on the table of the masses and provide them with the basic needs of life. These are what we are coming to give our people, I want Ekiti people to support me.

“In our time, we will do more than this government; I have many programmes that would better the lives of Ekiti residents. We will create massive employment and empowerment. We will establish factories, mechanized farming and several life changing programmes.”

Fayose stated that he understands the challenges that the people of Ekiti are facing and urged them to be patient and persistent while pushing them to support his ambition.

He said, “I know what you are going through at this moment, there is hunger in the land, everything is expensive. APC governments are not doing well at all, the masses are suffering, we shall put smiles on your faces and joy in your heart.”

In addition to expressing gratitude for the visit and offering prayers for Fayose, the Chief Imam stated that Muslims are in a more favorable situation under Governor Oyebanji’s administration than under the previous one.
