Fayose, Oluyede Trade Words Over Support for Oyebanji

Gbenga Sodeinde in Ado-Ekiti

A disagreement has emerged within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ekiti State following former Governor Ayodele Fayose’s endorsement of Governor Biodun Oyebanji, with the party’s governorship candidate, Dr. Wole Oluyede, openly distancing himself from the former governor’s position.

Fayose had defended his support for Oyebanji and President Bola Tinubu, insisting that both leaders deserved recognition for what he described as their commitment to governance, inclusiveness and development.

According to the former governor, his support was not based on party affiliation but on his assessment of their performance in office.
