President Tinubu Congratulates Oyebanji, Urges Him To Be Magnanimous In Victory

Posted on June 21, 2026

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu congratulates Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji on his resounding victory in Saturday’s Ekiti State gubernatorial election.

The President commends the people of Ekiti State for their peaceful and orderly conduct, and for reposing their trust in Governor Oyebanji.

He also commends law enforcement agencies for maintaining law and order.

He charges the Independent National Electoral Commission to continue to invest in conducting a peaceful, free, fair and credible election as we approach the Osun governorship election in August and the general election next year.

With his overwhelming victory in the election, Oyebanji has emerged as the first governor in the history of Ekiti State to win re-election back-to-back.

President Tinubu notes that Governor Oyebanji’s first term was marked by significant strides in infrastructure, agriculture, youth employment, education, healthcare, and rural development under the BAO agenda.

The renewed mandate is therefore a clear vote of confidence in continuity, stability, and people-centred governance.

President Tinubu urges Governor Oyebanji to remain magnanimous in victory and to carry all Ekiti people along as he consolidates on his achievements in the next four years.

The President also commends all those who contested the election with the governor for exercising their democratic rights, saying it is now time to rally round Oyebanji in the task of taking Ekiti to the next level of governance.

The President reaffirms the Federal Government’s commitment to partnering with the Ekiti State Government to deliver more dividends of democracy and accelerate the Renewed Hope Agenda across Nigeria.

He prays for God’s wisdom, strength, and good health for Governor Oyebanji as he continues to serve the good people of Ekiti State.
