Over the weekend, I had the privilege of attending the All Progressives Congress (APC) State Caucus meeting held at the residence of His Excellency, Otunba Niyi Adebayo, in Iyin Ekiti. It was a valuable opportunity to engage with our party leaders and stakeholders, reflect on our shared progress, and chart a course to further strengthen our unity and impact.

I commend the steadfast leadership of Governor Biodun Oyebanji, former Governors Otunba Niyi Adebayo and Dr. Kayode Fayemi, as well as our acting State Chairman, Hon. Sola Elesin. Their wisdom and commitment continue to foster the stability and cohesion that define our great party in Ekiti.

A key outcome of the meeting was the unanimous endorsement of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, for a second term – alongside Governor Biodun Oyebanji, also for a second term – reaffirming our collective confidence in their visionary leadership.

President Tinubu has shown exceptional courage and clarity in confronting long-standing structural challenges, while making bold investments in infrastructure, social welfare, and national security. His firm commitment to true federalism and inclusive governance underscores his vision for a Nigeria that works for all.

It is noteworthy that the Ekiti State National Assembly Caucus was the first to unanimously endorse the tax reform bills – now passed with amendments – in support of the tough but necessary choices required to reset our economy for long-term stability and growth. We are optimistic that the benefits of these reforms will increasingly be felt by Nigerians across the country.

Governor Oyebanji’s inclusive, people-focused leadership, consistent delivery on key development priorities, and his role as a bridge-builder within the party make him the natural choice to continue leading our state forward.

With continued collaboration and purposeful leadership, I am confident that the APC in Ekiti State will grow even stronger in delivering good governance and meaningful progress for our people.
