The Futility of Kayode Ojo’s Pursuit Against Governor Oyebanji

Debola Akingbade 

The APC governorship primary election that produced Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji (BAO) as the party’s candidate on January 27, 2022, was a defining moment in Ekiti politics.

Conducted through the direct primary system, it saw Oyebanji emerge victorious with 101,703 votes, a process which included the now barking, Kayode Ojo. 

Dissatisfied, Ojo pursued legal action, seeking to overturn Oyebanji’s victory. However, his efforts did not alter the course of history, Oyebanji not only secured the APC ticket but went on to win the June 18, 2022, governorship election resoundingly, earning the overwhelming support of the people.

If Kayode Ojo could not stop Oyebanji in 2022 when he was not yet in power, how does he intend to achieve that now that Governor Oyebanji enjoys the power of incumbency, the endorsement of critical stakeholders, the backing of the Presidency, and most importantly, the support of the Masses? 

Beyond institutional support, Governor Oyebanji’s unimaginable connection with the people makes any opposition effort a mere shadow chase. He does not only enjoy the backing of political elites; he is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, whose lives he has positively impacted through meaningful and laudable achievements.

The support for Governor Oyebanji transcends political affiliations, his leadership has earned him the loyalty of civil servants who appreciate his commitment to their welfare. The Teachers who benefit from his education-focused policies. The Artisans and traders whose businesses thrive under a stable economic environment. The general populace who witness the tangible progress across various sectors.

Governor Oyebanji is a leader and movement, driven by performance, people-oriented policies, and absolute dedication to progress. His re-election is not a matter of struggle, it is a natural course of continuity, endorsed by those who truly matter: the people of Ekiti State.

Exposed! Isaac Fayose's Critique of Ekiti Government Fueled by Personal Vendetta, Failed Patronage Bid

Image
Kayode Balogun  "He who comes to equity must do so with clean hands."  This doctrine don't seem to be put in consideration by a confirmed swindler and gigolo who have recently chosen to go round zuckerville  with a garb of decency and morality.  Isaac Fayose, a mentally deranged person, is at it again, stirring public criticism of the Ekiti State government and positioning himself as a vocal opponent of Governor Biodun Oyebanji’s administration. But what lies beneath this performance?  Far from being a public watchdog, Fayose’s record is marked by a litany of fraud allegations, calling into question his credibility and the integrity of those hailing him as a genuine critic. In 2019, Isaac Fayose was arraigned by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on charges of a N17.6 million fraud, in which he allegedly defrauded one Joe Onyiuke under the pretense of leasing a property. According to the charges, Isaac Fayose collected millions by fa...

He also revealed discussions with former Governor Niyi Adebayo on ways to support air travel in Ekiti. “I was having a conversation with Otunba Niyi Adebayo about this airport, and he suggested that maybe a few of us who have the privilege can come together, buy aircraft, and lease them to airlines. That way, we can have discounted flights for Ekiti people,” he said. Asked if he fully supported the project, Ojo responded, “Absolutely, 100 percent.” His remarks reinforce the strides being made under Oyebanji’s leadership. Even within the AP...
