Governor Uba Sani Congratulates Governor Biodun Oyebanji on His Re-Election

On behalf of the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Campaign Council for the Ekiti State Governorship Election, I extend my warmest congratulations to His Excellency, Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji, on his emphatic and well-deserved victory in the 2026 Ekiti State Governorship Election, having secured a decisive 319,224 votes to earn a renewed mandate from the good people of Ekiti State. This remarkable and resounding victory stands as a powerful affirmation of his performance in office, his inclusive style of leadership, and his steadfast commitment to the progress, stability, and development of Ekiti State. It equally represents a clear expression of confidence by the people of Ekiti in continuity, purposeful governance, and the consolidation of the significant gains and achievements recorded under his administration.

 

I also heartily congratulate the good people of Ekiti State for making a wise and forward-looking choice. By re-electing Governor Oyebanji, the people have once again demonstrated their abiding faith in progressive governance and in a leadership philosophy that places the welfare, aspirations, and shared prosperity of citizens at the very heart of public service. Their collective decision reflects not only confidence in the present trajectory of the state but also a commitment to a future anchored on peace, stability, and sustained development.

 

This outcome further underscores the positive impact of the support and enabling environment being provided to subnational governments by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR. Through courageous reforms, strategic interventions, and a deliberate commitment to strengthening the capacity of states, the President has continued to create conditions that empower governors to deliver meaningful dividends of democracy and accelerate socio-economic development across the federation.

 

I commend the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), security agencies, local and international observers, the media, and all stakeholders whose professionalism, dedication, and collective efforts ensured a peaceful, credible, transparent, and successful electoral process. Their contributions have further strengthened public confidence in our democratic institutions and reinforced the integrity of our electoral system.

 

I also urge all political parties and candidates who participated in the election to embrace the spirit of statesmanship and join hands with Governor Oyebanji in the overriding interest of Ekiti State and its continued growth and prosperity. Democracy flourishes best when elections are viewed not as an end in themselves, but as opportunities for collective advancement and shared progress.

 

As Chairman of the APC National Campaign Council, I am deeply delighted to have successfully delivered on the important assignment entrusted to me and the distinguished, committed, and hardworking members of the council by our great party, the APC. I sincerely appreciate my colleague Governors, National Assembly members, the Special Adviser on Political and Other Matters and all members of the National Campaign Council whose dedication, unity of purpose, and tireless efforts contributed immensely to this outstanding victory. Once again, I congratulate Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji and the people of Ekiti State, and I wish them even greater progress, peace, and prosperity in the years ahead.
