Ekiti Election: Oyebanji Hails Appellate Court Verdict

Ekiti State Governor, Biodun Oyebanji has hailed the ruling of the Court of Appeal which reaffirmed his election as Governor of the state; describing it as victory for democracy and the people of the state.

The Court of Appeal, sitting in Ado-Ekiti, had earlier dismissed the appeal of the Candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Segun Oni, for lacking in substance.

Governor Oyebanji in a statement by his Special Adviser (Media), Mr Yinka Oyebode, said his victory is to the glory of God and joy of the people of Ekiti State, whose mandate was reconfirmed by the appellate court.

The Governor said the judgement was a further proof that God had a hand in the mandate given to him by the people of Ekiti State on June 18, 2022.

He said the judgement should energize members of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and the people of Ekiti State to march to the polling units with renewed confidence and determination to vote for Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and all APC candidates during the Saturday’s presidential and National Assembly elections.
