JUST IN: Fayemi Endorses Ekiti State Governor Oyebanji For Second Term—-Ex-Ekiti State Gov. Kayode Fayemi also challenged anyone competent that feels he is capable of contesting against the serving governor to step forward.

TCN reports that the former governor of Ekiti State, Kayode Fayemi has declared his stance on the next governorship election in the state.

Speaking at the All Progressive Congress (APC) end of the-year get-together at his Isan Ekiti country home on Thursday, Fayemi declared his support for Governor Biodun Oyebanji’s second term.

Revealing that the date for the 2026 Ekiti Gubernatorial Election will be announced in April 2025, Fayemi also challenged anyone who feels he is capable of contesting against the serving governor to come forward.

He said, “I’m a democrat, so I can’t discourage anyone from contesting for the governorship ticket. Anybody who feels capable can contest.

“But what I’m saying is that as for me and my family, we are for Oyebanji’s second term.”

‘Stop Sending Me Messages, I Will Not Lose Sleep Over Re-election’ – Gov Oyebanji Tells Politicians
Meanwhile, Oyebanji, has said he is not worried over agitations from politicians ahead of the 2026 governorship election in the state.

Oyebanji spoke in Ado Ekiti on Friday night at the monthly Evening of Praise and Worship at the Jibowu Hall, Government House Ground.

Oyebanji said he would not lose sleep over the election and advised politicians to stop sending him such text messages, stressing he was committed to good governance and fulfilling his electoral promises.

He expressed confidence in God’s ability to work out things in his favour, maintaining that God, who did it for him in 2022, would do it again in 2026.

Oyebanji, who attributed the significant progress that his administration recorded across critical sectors in the state to divine intervention despite the economic realities, said, “My focus remains on delivering good governance and fulfilling the promises I made to Ekiti people.”

He said, “My belief is that God’s plan supersedes any human agenda. I will not lose sleep over the development as God is in control, my political future is in the hands of God, who has never failed me.

“What God does not give a man, he cannot have it and when God makes up his mind, nobody can stop him. So, I am just saying this so that you can stop sending me text messages expressing anxieties about 2026.

“God is in charge of everything including the 2026 that many people are anxious about. He will take care of everything. For now, let us concentrate on the work that has been given to us and let us do it very well.

“For those that are worried about 2026, sending me text messages every day, don’t bother yourselves. God that did the last one will do it again. Don’t bother yourselves. Some complain that I am not a politician and that I don’t understand politics. I am not bothered about this, nothing is going to stop my peace because I serve the God of peace.”

2027: NASS Leadership Endorses Tinubu—-The leadership of the National Assembly (NASS) on Thursday at the National Summit of the All Progressives Congress (APC) party, held in Abuja, endorsed President Bola Tinubu as their sole candidate for the 2027 presidential election.

The endorsement was moved by Sen. Godswill Akpabio, the President of the Senate, and seconded by Hon. Tajudeen Abass, the Speaker of the House of Representatives.

This followed an earlier endorsement of Tinubu as the sole candidate of the APC in the 2027 by Gov. Hope Uzodinma of Imo and Chairman of the Progressive Governors’ Forum.

Akpabio moved that Tinubu should be adopted as the sole candidate of the APC for the Presidency in 2027.

“Nigerians are saying that because you have done a difficult job well, that it is time to reward you by sending you back to the Presidency for a second term in office,” he said.

Akpabio said the endorsement was based on the political sagacity of Tinubu, whom he said had been able to set Nigeria on the path of growth as confirmed by the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

He said Nigerians and people at the grassroots were very excited, and that members of the National Assembly were also excited and had never had it so good.

Abass said he stood on behalf of 109 Senators and 360 members of the House of Representatives, and all the 36 Speakers and their members, to second the motion raised by the president of the senate.
