Oyebanji Hails Supreme Court Ruling On Ekiti Guber Poll

Ekiti State Governor, Mr Biodun Oyebanji has hailed the verdict of the Supreme Court that reaffirmed his election as the Governor of Ekiti State.

He described the verdict as a victory for democracy and the good people of Ekiti State who voted him as their Governor.

The Apex court sitting in Abuja dismissed the petition of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) Governorship Candidate, Chief Segun Oni challenging Biodun Oyebanji’s victory of the June 18, 2022 Governorship election in Ekiti State.

The Governor who spoke to journalists in Ado-Ekiti shortly, restated that his election as Governor was God-ordained and actualised by majority votes of the people of the state.

He also said his respect for Chief Segun Oni, a former chieftain of All Progressives Congress (APC) remained intact.

He urged the SDP Candidate to join him in the development of the state, having explored all judicial processes available.

While commending the Nigerian judiciary for being professional and for bringing an end to the litigation, the Governor appreciated the good people of Ekiti State for their prayers all through the different stages of the judicial battle.
