Ayodele Fayose, the former governor of Ekiti State, has stated that he supports Biodun Oyebanji’s reelection as the state’s governor in 2026.

Fayose said this on Wednesday in the Lagos State capital during the Ikeja GRA Network of Roads’ commissioning.

Fayose, who resides in Lagos and is a leader of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), praised the All Progressives Congress (APC) government for giving the state capital the same standing as the affluent Ikoyi neighbourhood.

Despite being a PDP member, the former governor of Ekiti stated that he would back APC candidate Oyebanji for reelection in 2026.

“This place is now our own Ikoyi…You and your deputy have turned GRA to Ikoyi GRA,”

“I am one Nigerian who will not say what I don’t mean even if they will kill me. I will say it. I am not a member of APC, let me put that on record again. I am not a member of APC and I will never be a member but I will not shy away from the fact that what is good is good.

“When the news of your nomination came about six years ago, (there were) so many reservations but you have proved the bookmakers wrong, including myself. All the bookmakers, you have proved us wrong that it is not the colour of the pack but what is right inside that thing. You are a different breed of politician.

“You brought everybody together like my governor in Ekiti, Oyebanji, brought everybody together. I always tell people who care to listen, I am a PDP member but I will support Oyebanji in the next election. It is not about politics, it is who Oyebanji is,” Fayose said.

ZINGTIE recalls that in June 2022, Olusegun Oni of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) and Bisi Kolawole of the PDP was defeated by Oyebanji to succeed Kayode Fayemi as Ekiti State governor.
