Ekiti State Governor, Biodun Oyebanji, has expressed profound gratitude to voters across the state following his landslide victory in the governorship election, describing the outcome as a historic endorsement of his administration’s policies and development agenda.
In a statement issued after the election, Oyebanji celebrated what he called an unprecedented mandate from the electorate, noting that the result saw his party secure victory in all 16 local government areas of the state while garnering approximately 85 per cent of the popular vote.
The governor attributed the overwhelming support to what he described as an inclusive style of governance focused on human development, stability and broad-based participation across political divides.
“This is the beautiful face of an absolute consensus. I am profoundly grateful to every single citizen who walked into a polling unit yesterday to cast their vote for continuity and stability,” Oyebanji said.
According to the governor, the outcome reflects the confidence of Ekiti residents in the direction of his administration and their desire to sustain ongoing developmental initiatives across the state.
“By delivering a clean sweep across all 16 local governments and entrusting us with 85% of the popular vote, you have shattered records and built an unbreakable wall of unity,” he stated.
Oyebanji described the result as evidence that governance driven by inclusiveness and a focus on the welfare of citizens can transcend partisan boundaries and unite diverse groups behind a common vision.
“This historic milestone proves that when governance is inclusive, personal, and focused entirely on human development, it unites everyone across all political lines,” he said.
The governor also commended voters for the peaceful conduct that characterized the election, thanking residents for their trust in his administration and their commitment to democratic values.
“Thank you for your orderly conduct, your trust, and your unwavering belief in our homegrown vision. This massive victory belongs to you,” he added.
With the election now concluded, Oyebanji pledged to intensify efforts to deliver on his administration’s promises, assuring residents that the renewed mandate would be used to further advance development and prosperity across the state.
“As we transition into this next chapter, I promise to remain your servant leader, working tirelessly every single day to protect your future and expand our state’s prosperity,” the governor said.
The election result represents one of the most decisive victories recorded in Ekiti State’s political history, with Oyebanji’s sweeping performance across all local government areas underscoring his strong political support base and consolidating his position ahead of a new term in office.
Political observers say the scale of the victory is likely to strengthen the governor’s influence within the state and provide momentum for the implementation of his administration’s developmental programmes in the years ahead.
