Ekiti State Governor, Biodun Oyebanji, has formally declared his intention to seek a second term in office, following what he described as an overwhelming wave of public endorsement and political support across the state.
The governor made his declaration during a Monday meeting with members of the All Progressives Congress Central Working Committee at the APC secretariat in Ado-Ekiti, the state capital.
Oyebanji cited the encouragement he had received from traditional rulers, professional bodies, civil servants, artisans, youth groups, market women, drivers’ unions and political leaders across party lines as part of his decision to run again.
He said the move was also to consolidate on the gains of his first term and to continue delivering quality governance.
