You have my best wishes, says President Buhari to Ekiti APC guber candidate, Abiodun Oyebanji

“You have served Ekiti State in many capacities, including as Chief of Staff, Commissioner, and Secretary to the State Government. Being Governor will just be continuity of service. I honestly wish you the best of luck.”

With those words, President Muhammadu Buhari Friday at State House, Abuja, presented the party’s flag to Mr Abiodun Oyebanji, candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the gubernatorial election, scheduled for June 18, 2022, according to a statement by Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, copy of which was sent to The DEFENDER on Saturday.

The candidate was led to the President by National Chairman of the party, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, the National Secretary, Senator Iyiola Omisore, and Governor Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti State.

The National Chairman said APC was planning to win the contest, “by the grace of God,” adding that it was the reason the candidate was being presented for presidential blessings.

Governor Fayemi said Oyebanji had been involved in governance in Ekiti in the past 20 years, and has acquitted himself creditably.
