Oyebanji, the incoming governor of Ekiti, obtains a certificate of return

by Ebor Cletus Ralph Jr

The Independent National Electoral Commission issued certificates of return to Biodun Oyebanji, the incoming governor of Ekiti State, and his deputy, Mrs. Monisade Afuye, on Wednesday (INEC).

The certificates were given to the pair at the commission’s state headquarters in Ado, Ekiti, by Mr. Sam Olumekun, the INEC National Commissioner in charge of Ekiti, Oyo, and Lagos States.

According to Olumekun, the panel would take into account any fresh difficulties and learning from the Ekiti election.

After defeating 12 other candidates, including former governor Segun Oni of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) and PDP candidate Bisi Kolawole, Oyebaji, the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, won the election held in the 16 local government areas of the state last Saturday.

 

The governor-elect promised the state’s citizens in his speech following receipt of the certificate that he would keep his word to fully carry out all of his campaign commitments.

He continued by saying that the performance of Governor Kayode Fayemi was a testimonial to his electoral triumph.

Oyebanji praised President Muhammadu Buhari for giving every candidate a level playing field to gauge their support and acceptance throughout the election.

He praised INEC for introducing the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS), which made the process streamlined, impartial, and open.

“Ekiti Kete, we thank you all for investing your trust in us; in our party, what is happening today is historic in Ekiti.

“This is the first time that the government will be succeeding itself and I make bold to say that this is made possible by the sterling performance of Governor Fayemi.

“This is because June 18 was a referendum on Gov. Fayemi as governor of Ekiti and the people came out and validated the fact that he has done well,” he stated.
