Yilwatda explains why the APC is likely to win the Ekiti gubernatorial election.

The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Nentawe Yilwatda, has voiced strong confidence that the party will win the upcoming Ekiti State governorship election. He cited Governor Abiodun Oyebanji’s record and the widespread support he enjoys among the electorate.

Yilwatda made the comments in a post on X on Tuesday after attending the APC mega rally in Ekiti State. The rally was attended by Vice President Kashim Shettima, members of the National Working Committee, governors, and other party leaders.

According to Yilwatda, the large turnout at the rally reflected Governor Oyebanji’s popularity and the state’s acceptance of his leadership. He added that residents were eager to reward the governor with another term in office.

The APC chairman highlighted that Oyebanji has justified the trust placed in him by building and rehabilitating roads, investing in education, and implementing policies aimed at improving human capital development.

He noted that the administration’s achievements are visible across the state and have earned the governor the confidence and support of the electorate.

Yilwatda expressed optimism that the APC would secure victory in the election, attributing the expected outcome to the governor’s record in office and the backing of Ekiti residents.

“Governor Oyebanji has justified the confidence reposed in him by the people. Under his administration, critical roads have been constructed and rehabilitated, opening up communities and facilitating economic activities,” Yilwatda said.

“His government has created an enabling environment for students to learn and excel, while significant investments have been made in education and human capital development,” he added.

“Today, everywhere you turn in Ekiti, the evidence of good governance is visible. The people recognize what Governor Oyebanji has done, and they are proud of his achievements. That is why thousands gathered voluntarily to express their support and reaffirm their confidence in his leadership,” Yilwatda concluded.
