Ekiti State Governor, Biodun Oyebanji, is poised to make history as he seeks a second term in the June 20 governorship election under the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Political observers and stakeholders believe the governor enters the race as the frontrunner, backed by broad support across political, traditional, and community groups in the state. His administration’s performance and ability to maintain political stability have been cited as key factors behind his growing popularity.

If re-elected, Oyebanji is expected to achieve a significant political milestone in Ekiti State, further consolidating the APC’s influence in the state ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The election is being closely watched across the country, with analysts viewing it as an important test of political strength in the South-West region. Political parties and candidates have also pledged to maintain peace and ensure a credible electoral process.

The outcome of the poll is expected to shape political calculations in Ekiti and beyond, as parties prepare for the next cycle of national elections.
