Governor Biodun Oyebanji of Ekiti State and his predecessor in office, Kayode Fayemi, have appealed to the people of the state to vote for Bola Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC), and other candidates of the party in 2023 general election.
They made the appeal at an annual Christmas get-together hosted by Fayemi at his Isan-Ekiti country home on Monday.
Fayemi, a former presidential aspirant and currently, the special adviser on foreign affairs to Tinubu, said Ekiti State and indeed the country have a lot to gain if the APC continues in power beyond 2023.
He said the state would witness more development if the party could win all the state and national assembly seats, stressing that this could only be made possible by massive mobilisation of support for the party’s candidates.

Also speaking, Governor Oyebanji said the APC parades the best candidates in all the elective positions, adding that Tinubu’s election as the next president of Nigeria was non-negotiable.
