VP Shettima, 18 Governors, and 42 NASS Members Storm Ado-Ekiti for Governor Oyebanji’s Re-Election Mega Rally
Vice President Kashim Shettima led 18 APC governors and 42 National Assembly members to a massive mega rally in Ado-Ekiti, delivering President Tinubu’s strong endorsement for Governor Biodun Oyebanji’s re-election campaign based on his infrastructure delivery and inclusive governance.
The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) staged a massive political show of force in Ado-Ekiti on Tuesday, as Vice President Kashim Shettima led a high-powered federal delegation—including 18 state governors and 42 members of the National Assembly, to rally support for Governor Biodun Oyebanji ahead of the upcoming Ekiti State governorship election. The 12,000-capacity Ekiti Parapo Pavilion was filled to capacity with party faithful, political allies, and grassroots mobilizers gathered to endorse the governor's second-term bid.
Delivering a keynote message on behalf of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Vice President Shettima lauded Governor Oyebanji for demonstrating exemplary leadership, humility, and dedication to the development of Ekiti State. He emphasized that the immense federal presence at the mega rally underscored the presidency's respect for the people of Ekiti and its commitment to ensuring political continuity. Pointing to major landmark infrastructure projects recently commissioned across the state, Shettima argued that Oyebanji has proven he came solidly prepared for governance and deserves a resounding mandate from voters to break the state's historical succession jinx.
