Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Ayodele Fayose, has said Governor Biodun Oyebanji of Ekiti State will break his record of 16-0 and also surpass it.<\/p>\n

Fayose, a former governor of Ekiti State, said Oyebanji will also surpass the record by winning in all 177 wards of the state.<\/p>\n

He noted that Oyebanji showed political strength during his submission of nomination form in Abuja yesterday.<\/p>\n

The former governor said the array of political bigwigs that accompanied Oyebanji to submit his party\u2019s nomination form in Abuja yesterday, should now be clear to those still hanging on false hopes that there will be no vacancy in the Ekiti Government House until 2030.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cThe governor will not only break my record of 16 \u2013 0, he will surpass it by winning all the 177 wards.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fayose, who reiterated that he was not a member of the All Progressives Congress, APC, stressed that he remained a supporter of Oyebanji and President Bola Tinubu, adding that he owed nobody any apology for doing so.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cGovernor Oyebanji, submitting his party nomination form in that manner yesterday, even though an overkill, has shown where Ekiti people are.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy the power of God he will not only be the one to beat my electoral record of wining in the 16 Local Government Areas in the state, he will win in the entire 177 wards.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs he has been doing, Governor Oyebanji should continue to focus on delivering good governance and dividends of democracy to the people of Ekiti till 2030.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe should ignore those making noise about challenging. They are mere storm in a teacup.\u201d<\/p>\n
