Stakeholders across the five local government areas of Ekiti North Senatorial District — Ido/Osi, Ilejemeje, Ikole, Moba, and Oye — are set to hold a Grand Endorsement Rally in honour of the Governor of Ekiti State, Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji (BAO), and his deputy, Chief (Mrs) Monisade Aduye, to add their voice to the growing call for his return to office for a second term.
This was contained in a statement jointly signed by Rep. Akintunde Rotimi, Jr.
Member, House of Representatives (Ekiti North 1 – Ikole/Oye) and Rt. Hon. Adeoye Stephen Aribasoye Speaker, Ekiti State House of Assembly, Co-Chairman, Events and Media Sub-Committee.
According to the statement, the rally is scheduled for 10.00am on Tuesday, April 29, 2025, at the Event Arcade, Akinlade Estate, Olojudo Road, Ido-Ekiti.
Themed “One Ekiti North! One Voice! One Agenda! BAO Again!!!”, the event represents a powerful, collective affirmation of support for Governor Oyebanji’s sterling leadership and impressive developmental strides across the state.
The decision to endorse the Governor and his deputy follows extensive consultations and careful consideration by stakeholders across all segments of Ekiti North.
The consensus is unambiguous: Governor Oyebanji is not only fulfilling his promises, but has exhibited exemplary integrity, proven competence, and a compassionate, people-first approach to governance.
His inclusive style, pragmatic reforms, and relentless commitment to infrastructure, public service delivery, and human capital development have earned him widespread admiration and trust.
The rally will convene a broad-based coalition of political leaders, youth and women’s groups, professionals, artisans, the traditional institution, and civil society actors — all united by a common belief in the Governor’s transformative record and forward-looking vision for Ekiti State.
At the heart of the endorsement lies a triad of values that define the Ekiti North identity:
United – Our strength lies in our solidarity. Across wards, communities, generations, and political affiliations, we stand as one people with a shared destiny.
Progressive – We are forward-looking, committed to bold ideas and sustainable development that uplift every member of our community.
Principled – We are guided by values. Integrity, transparency, and a steadfast commitment to service form the core of our political culture.
“This moment is a reflection of our collective resolve to uphold leadership that is rooted in vision, values, and verifiable results,” said Chief S.I. Abejide, speaking on behalf of the Rally Planning Committee.
“Governor Oyebanji embodies the spirit of selfless service and transformational leadership that our people deeply respect. Ekiti North is not only endorsing him — we are reaffirming our confidence in a leader who represents the very best of our aspirations.”
Stakeholders emphasize that the rally is more than a political gathering — it is a civic declaration of trust, unity, and a shared vision for the future of Ekiti.
