Senate Leader Backs APC Consensus in Ekiti, Rules Out 2026 Gubernatorial Contest

Senator Michael Opeyemi Bamidele, Senate Majority Leader representing Ekiti Central Senatorial District, has affirmed that the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekiti will adopt a consensus approach for the 2026 gubernatorial election, ruling out any intention to contest against Governor Biodun Oyebanji. 

"No one will contest against BAO in the APC. The party will adopt a consensus arrangement by the special grace of God.

“All those that matter in Ekiti’s progress are now in one accord. If there is any developmental meeting about Ekiti, you will find our father, Aare Afe Babalola, and illustrious sons of Ekiti like Chief Wole Olanipekun, Femi Falana, Ayo Fayose, Otunba Niyi Adebayo, and Opeyemi Bamidele behind it.

“If some are still not pleased with this peace accord that’s birthing development in the state, and insist there must be political turmoil by all means, it’s clear what manner of people they are.

“We in Ekiti want peace and progress, and that is why I said there’s an ongoing partnership in Ekiti state, and the partnership is working. We will do everything humanly possible to sustain this working partnership in Ekiti State,” he said.

Hon Tope Agidi debunks malicious propaganda against Governor Biodun Oyebanji's program   The attention of well-meaning Ekiti people has been drawn to the misleading and reckless post by Mr. Opeyemi Falegan, alleging that His Excellency, Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji, is “stealing” funds budgeted for the elderly.  This statement is not only false, but a deliberate attempt to misinform the public and belittle the social investment efforts of government. For the avoidance of doubt, the Owo Arugbo programme is alive and active. Thousands of elderly citizens across the 16 Local Government Areas and 22 LCDAs of Ekiti State are beneficiaries, receiving stipends regularly as part of the social welfare scheme. Records are available, names are documented, and testimonies abound in communities where these interventions are felt. It is therefore mischievous and self-serving for anyone to arrogate to himself the sole caretaker of widows and the elderly in Ekiti State. C...
