RE: CONDEMNATION OF KANGAROO PRESS CONFERENCE BY NON-INDIGENES OF EKITI IN ABUJA ON EKITI APC CONSENSUS PRIMARY ELECTION

Our attention has been drawn to a kangaroo press conference held in Abuja by some individuals who are not indigenes of Ekiti State, making false and misleading claims about the just concluded APC Governorship Consensus Primary Election in Ekiti.

We wish to categorically state that the primary election held on Monday, October 27, 2025, was peaceful, free, fair, and credible, one of the best in the political history of Ekiti State. The exercise was conducted transparently, witnessed by INEC officials, and supervised by the APC National Chairman, where His Excellency, Abiodun Oyebanji (BAO) emerged as the authentic candidate of our great party, the All Progressives Congress (APC).

We therefore condemn in strong terms , the actions of these non-indigenes and so-called CSOs most of whom are known members of the ADC and PDP based in Abuja. They have no moral or political authority to meddle in the internal affairs of the APC in Ekiti State. We advised them to stare clear of Ekiti politics and focus on resolving issues within their own parties.

Ekiti State remains peaceful and united, and our delegates have spoken clearly through their votes. Any attempt by outsiders to distort this democratic process or undermine the will of the people will be resisted. The good people of Ekiti will not take it lightly with them or their sponsors when the time comes.

We urge the general public to disregard the baseless statements issued by these impostors and continue to support the peace, unity, and progress of our dear state under the capable leadership of Governor Abiodun Oyebanji
