A chieftain of All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekiti State, Hon. Gold Adedayo, has advised those stoking the embers of division and acrimony within the party to eschew such acts.
Adedayo who is the immediate past commissioner for Youth Development in the state, urged the party leaders, supporters and members to cooperate with Governor Biodun Oyebanji to emerge as candidate at next month’s primary and push APC to victory in the June 20,2026 governorship election.
He said it is only in the atmosphere of peace ,unity and spirit of aggressive support mobilisation that member can deliver all the 177 wards and 16 local government areas of the state to the governor and emerged the winner of the APC primary election to elect the party flagbearer on October 27 and the 2026 gubernatorial poll proper.
The former commissioner in a statement issued in Ado Ekiti yesterday predicted landslide victory for the governor adding that this is the best way to send a signal to those nursing a pipe dream of hijacking the ticket through the back- channel that their mission has been aborted.
The APC leader in Moba local government area of the state , boasted that Governor Oyebanji is in a good stead to triumph in the October 27, 2025 party’s governorship primary without stiff opposition and strong opponent that can rock the boat, contrary to what was being portrayed on social media platforms, by adversaries.
“Every discerning Ekiti man knows that Governor Biodun Oyebanji has no strong opponent in the APC primary and even the major election coming next year.
“With President Bola Tinubu, Dr Kayode Fayemi, Otunba Niyi Adebayo, Dr Ayodele Fayose, Engr Segun Oni and most importantly, the Ekiti people showing love to him, victory is certain at all levels of these elections.
“They said Governor Oyebanji has lost relevance in APC, but all the APC high profile leaders, including the Senators, House of Representatives members, Ekiti State House of Assembly members, local government chairmen and ward chairmen, all present at the grandiose occasion marking the submission of the nomination form by the governor in Abuja.
“Lies can’t travel far and it has a short lifespan. Their lies on social media are beginning to fizzle out and Ekiti people have realised that the governor’s traducers are neither on ground, nor pose any threat, but only exist on social media where they spew out their concocted narratives,” he added.
