“I was pleased to host the Ekiti APC Committee on Consensus Mode Primary Election at my residence in Ado-Ekiti.

The meeting comes as the Ekiti State chapter of the APC finalizes arrangements for its Special Nomination Congress scheduled for Monday, October 28, 2025, where delegates are expected to formally adopt Governor Oyebanji, the incumbent, as the consensus flagbearer for the 2026 governorship election.

Governor Oyebanji, who succeeded Fayemi in 2022, has maintained close ties with the former governor, and is seeking re-election in the 2026 gubernatorial election of Ekiti state under the umbrella of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The APC Special Nomination Congress in Ekiti will serve as the formal platform for delegates and stakeholders to endorse Governor Oyebanji’s candidacy, following the consensus mode approved by the national leadership of the party.

The event is expected to draw top APC leaders, including national and state executives, legislators, and party faithful across the state.
