Former governors of Ekiti State have thrown their weight behind the re-election bid of Governor Biodun Oyebanji ahead of the June 20 governorship election.

The former leaders — Niyi Adebayo, Kayode Fayemi, Ayodele Fayose, and Segun Oni — were present at a political gathering in Ado-Ekiti, where they expressed support for Oyebanji’s continued leadership.

Speaking at the event, the ex-governors urged residents of the state to support the incumbent governor, citing his performance and commitment to development as key reasons for their endorsement.

The show of support is widely seen as a significant political development, given the diverse political backgrounds of the former governors, some of whom belong to different political parties.

Observers note that the rare display of unity among past leaders could influence voter sentiment ahead of the polls.

Governor Oyebanji, who is seeking another term in office, has continued to campaign across the state, highlighting his administration’s achievements and future plans.

The June 20 election is expected to be closely watched as political activities intensify in the state.
