The All Progressives Congress in Ekiti State has said that Vice President Kashim Shettima’s second visit to the state underscored President Bola Tinubu administration’s confidence in the direction of governance under Governor Biodun Oyebanji.
The party said that it also showed the growing alignment between federal priorities and state delivery. The VP will, during the working visit on Tuesday, inaugurate the 1.2-kilometre Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu Flyover at Okeyinmi, a signature infrastructure project of the Oyebanji administration. He will also perform the groundbreaking ceremony for the Ekiti Knowledge Zone, in addition to inaugurating and commissioning other notable projects.
The APC State Publicity Secretary, Segun Dipe, said in a statement in Ado Ekiti on Monday that “these projects embody the convergence of ‘Renewed Hope’ at the federal level and ‘Shared Prosperity’ at the state level. He said that the VP’s visit would “deepens federal-state collaboration on infrastructure and economic development. It also reaffirms the administration’s resolve to work with the Federal Government, development agencies and the private sector to deliver prosperity for Ekiti people.
“Beyond concrete and steel, this visit sends a clear political signal. The partnership between President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope and Governor Oyebanji’s Shared Prosperity is visible, verifiable, and delivering results. Ekiti people can see the difference in roads built, projects commissioned, pensions paid and systems strengthened. ” The APC spokesperson added, “With the governorship election slated for June 20, 2026, and the presidential election for January 2027, the VP’s presence reinforces what voters already know: Continuity works.
The projects being inaugurated during this visit are assurances that tomorrow will be better under the same team.
“Ekiti APC is confident that the impact of this visit and the track record it celebrates will translate into overwhelming support for Governor Oyebanji and his deputy, Mrs Monisade Afuye, on June 20, and for President Tinubu in 2027. When service meets the ballot, the people choose progress.
” According to Dipe, the visit, undertaken on behalf of Tinubu, brings the signature of the President’s “Renewed Hope” agenda directly to Ekiti, where it finds expression in Governor Oyebanji’s “Shared Prosperity” blueprint. Recall that during the VP’s first visit in May 2024, he inaugurated the Omisanjana–Deeper Life–Ajebandele Road and an MSME clinic, among other projects. All rights reserved.
