Ado-Ekiti — Former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has declared support for Governor Biodun Oyebanji’s re-election bid, describing the governor as a unifying leader whose performance has made him the clear favourite ahead of the June 20 governorship election.

Fayose, who spoke on Wednesday during a political programme aired on radio stations across Ekiti State, also predicted a decisive victory for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election, citing ongoing infrastructure projects and the opposition’s inability to forge a united front.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain said he would soon embark on meetings across Ekiti’s three senatorial districts to mobilise support for Oyebanji, whom he credited with fostering unity among political leaders and advancing the state’s development.
