Oyebanji, Oluyede, APC-PDP Launch Joint Mobilisation for Tinubu’s 2027 Re-election

Gbenga Sodeinde, the PDP candidate for governor in Ekiti State's June 20, 2026 election, and Biodun Oyebanji, the incumbent APC governor, have united in an unprecedented cross-party coalition to rally support for President Bola Tinubu's re-election in 2027. The dynamic alliance, launched at a mobilisation rally organized by Dr. Wole Oluyede's Progressives Alliance for Renewed Hope Agenda, aims to secure 90% of the votes cast across Ekiti's 16 local government areas.

Oluyede, speaking at the event, vowed to launch a vigorous door-to-door campaign, urging the alliance's members to engage in voter mobilization across communities and wards. He expressed unwavering confidence that President Tinubu would receive at least 90% of Ekiti's votes, emphasizing their commitment to delivering the pledged support.

Oyebanji commended Oluyede's decision, lauding it as an exemplary display of political maturity, patriotism, and dedication to Ekiti's collective welfare. The governor affirmed that disagreements among political parties should not hinder the pursuit of the state's progress and development. He highlighted the President's remarkable support for Ekiti, citing continuous federal intervention and ongoing projects in the region.

The partnership between Sodeinde and Oyebanji, representing the APC and PDP respectively, underscores the ideals of Ekiti's founding fathers, who envisioned a state free from political, religious, and ethnic divisions. For Oyebanji, President Tinubu's re-election is paramount to Ekiti's continued growth, attributing the state's achievements to the President's unwavering support.
