Ndoma-Egba Backs Oyebanji’s Re-Election, Urges Transparent Ekiti Guber Election

Former Senate Leader and Pro-Chancellor/Chairman of the Governing Council of the Federal University, Oye-Ekiti (FUOYE), Senator Victor Ndoma-Egba (SAN), has expressed confidence that Ekiti State Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji will emerge victorious in Saturday’s governorship election.

Ndoma-Egba, however, urged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to conduct a free, fair and transparent election that reflects the will of the people.

In a statement issued in Abuja on Wednesday, the former lawmaker also appealed to residents of Ekiti State to remain peaceful and law-abiding before, during and after the election.

He said he was optimistic that Governor Oyebanji would secure a second term in the June 20, off-cycle governorship poll, citing the administration’s developmental strides and governance record.

“As the good people of Ekiti State prepare for the governorship poll on Saturday, June 20, 2026, I extend my best wishes to the incumbent Governor, Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji in his bid for a second term in office,” Ndoma-Egba said.

According to him, the governor’s achievements since assuming office have earned him widespread support across the state.

The former Chairman of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), who regularly visits Ekiti State in his capacity as FUOYE Pro-Chancellor, said continuity in leadership would ensure the completion of ongoing projects and the sustenance of policies already initiated by the current administration.

He expressed confidence that voters would exercise their civic responsibility peacefully and called on all stakeholders, including political parties, security agencies and the electoral umpire, to play their respective roles in ensuring a credible election.

Ndoma-Egba also urged political actors to place the interest of Ekiti State above partisan considerations and contribute to a peaceful electoral environment.

He added that a transparent and credible governorship election would further strengthen democracy and deepen public confidence in the electoral process.
