All Progressives Congress (APC) gubernatorial aspirant and former Secretary to the Ekiti state Government, Hon. Biodun Oyebanji, has showered encomiums on party stakeholders and members for the warm reception accorded him and his team during his recently concluded tour of local governments in the state.
The tour, which took place between January 4 and 13th, was Oyebanji’s second round visit to local government chapters of the party, where he had one-on-one meetings with APC leaders, members and stakeholders in the 177 wards.
Speaking, Oyebanji said he was excited and satisfied with the great reception accorded him by the party leaders and stakeholders while expressing optimism over the success of the party’s primary and eventual victory at the June 18 governorship election in the state.
He further urged other aspirants on the platform of APC platform to continue to preach peace and harmony among members of the party ahead of the January 27 primary election, adding that violence, name-calling and slander should be avoided in favor of issue-based campaigns.
He said, “At various local government areas, I was able to tell our leaders why I obtained the form to vie for the gubernatorial seat based on the criteria given by Mr. Governor and the need to continue with the legacy already established by the current administration. I used the opportunity to further present myself to them and assured them that my coming in as governor would enhance prosperity in the state, for party members and individuals.
“Of course, I sued for peace and reiterated the need for our people to respect the right of individuals to aspire. I made it known to our leaders that they can only get the best after respecting other people’s right to contest and listening to their programmes and projections to further lift the state”.
