President Bola Tinubu has expressed his disapproval of any politician expressing interest in contesting the 2030 Ekiti State governorship election while current Governor Biodun Oyebanji is in the midst of his second term. Tinubu cautioned that early political campaigns could detract from Oyebanji's work and undermine the government's performance.
The President, accompanied by Senate Leader Senator Opeyemi Bamidele, addressed a thanksgiving service marking Oyebanji's inauguration for his second term at the Cathedral Church of Emmanuel in Okesa, Ado-Ekiti. Oyebanji and his deputy, Chief Monisade Afuye, received their official second-term appointment on Friday at the Ekitiparapo Pavilion in Ado-Ekiti.
Tinubu urged residents to support the current administration and Ekiti, emphasizing that loyalty to Oyebanji does not entail challenging him for the governorship. He warned that anyone announcing their 2030 gubernatorial ambitions while Oyebanji is still serving is detrimental to progress, as such declarations cause distractions and detract from focusing on Ekiti's overall welfare.
