The Speaker of the Ekiti State House of Assembly, Olubunmi Adelugba has said the affirmation of Governor Biodun Oyebanji’s election by the Supreme Court was proof that his victory in the 2022 governorship election was God-ordained
In a congratulatory statement by her Special Adviser on Media, Odunayo Ogunmola, the Speaker noted that there was no doubt that Oyebanji, who ran on the platform of the All Progressives Congress , won the 18th June 2022 governorship poll in Ekiti as confirmed by the popular votes he received across the state.
He pointed out that it was remarkable that the State Election Petition Tribunal, the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court found no blemish in the return of the Governor by the Independent National Electoral Commission as the rightful winner of the governorship seat. The Speaker also praised the Governor for being magnanimous in victory and extending his hands of fellowship to the petitioner and the governorship candidate of the Social Democratic Party , Segun Oni, which she described as a worthy gesture of statesmanship.
