Former PDP governor in Ekiti State, Dr Oluwole Oluyede, has united with Governor Biodun Oyebanji across party lines to support President Bola Tinubu's re-election. The collaboration took place during a rally organized by Oluyede's group, the Oluyede Progressive Alliance for Renewed Hope Agenda (OPARHA), at Fajuyi Park in Ado-Ekiti.
The event, themed “20,000 Steps. One Hope. One Nigeria,” aimed to mobilise supporters for Tinubu ahead of the 2027 presidential election. OPARHA plans to target 90% of the votes in Ekiti for the President, with efforts extending to all 16 local government areas and 177 wards in the state. The initiative seeks to bring together individuals from different political backgrounds and strengthen the relationship between Ekiti State and the federal government.
Oyebanji praised Oluyede for endorsing Tinubu, despite their differing political affiliations, and urged supporters from both the APC and PDP to cooperate at the grassroots level. He highlighted the significance of Tinubu's re-election, citing federal interventions in infrastructure projects, such as the Ado-Ekiti-Ifaki axis, as reasons for his support.
