Ekiti State Governor and All Progressives Congress governorship candidate, Biodun Oyebanji, has expressed confidence that he will secure over 500,000 votes in Saturday’s election in the state.
Oyebanji spoke after casting his vote at Ward 06, Unit 03, Okelele, Ikogosi Ekiti, at about 11:38 am, alongside his wife, Olayemi.
The governor, who also commended the turnout of voters, said the large participation reflected citizens’ awareness of the link between governance and the future of the state.
While responding to questions on whether the APC could still secure the targeted 500,000 votes, Oyebanji said, “We should, if the processes work well, and everybody votes, we should cross that line. That’s what I’m saying here today. I have no idea about that.” Related News VIDEO: Ekiti poll peaceful in Ilawe-Ekiti, says physically challenged resident Ekiti 2026: One injured as APC, ADC supporters clash over vote-buying allegations 10 APC gov aspirants raise the alarm over Kwara leadership crisis, write Tinubu
