Endorsement Committee Sets Up Local Organising Committees for Statewide Oyebanji Endorsement

To ensure effective mobilisation across the 16 Local Government Areas of Ekiti State ahead of the upcoming State Endorsement activities, the State Endorsement Committee has constituted Local Organising Committees (LOCs) in each LGA.

Each Local Organising Committee is populated by respected political leaders, former and serving government functionaries, community figures and all elected councillors within the local government.

The Local Organising Committees are expected to commence full activities immediately as preparations peak for what political analysts describe as a "massive display of goodwill and people-powered endorsement" for the Oyebanji-led administration.

October 25, 2025 A former governorship aspirant of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekiti State, Mrs. Atinuke Oluremi Omolayo (née Okeya), who was duly screened and cleared by the party’s National Screening Committee, has demonstrated uncommon party loyalty by stepping down for Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji and actively participating in the delegate congress held today in her Eporo Ward, Emure Local Government Area.
