The All Progressives Congress in Ekiti State has called on its members and stakeholders to unite behind Governor Biodun Oyebanji following the Supreme Court judgment affirming him as the party’s valid candidate for the June 20 governorship election.
In a statement on Friday by the State Publicity Secretary of the APC, Segun Dipe, the party hailed the apex court verdict, describing it as a victory for internal democracy, the rule of law and the collective will of APC members in Ekiti State.
The case, instituted by an APC governorship aspirant, Abimbola Olawunmi, challenged the outcome of the party’s governorship primaries that produced Oyebanji as the candidate of the APC.
The matter went through the High Court and the Court of Appeal, both of which upheld Oyebanji’s candidacy.
