Ahead of June 20 governorship election in Ekiti state, the All Progressives Congress (APC) has officially appointed Senator Uba Sani, Governor of Kaduna State, as Chairman of the State Governorship Election Campaign Council.
Governor Biodun Oyebanji is expected to flag off his second term campaign on Monday, with the local council handling the affairs putting everything in place to ensure smooth rally.
Director General of the campaign organization, Senator Cyril Fasuyi announced in Ado Ekiti that the full campaign will kick off on April 27.
According to him, “campaign has commenced at the grassroots level where our canvases move from door to door, street to street canvassing votes for our candidate. However, the campaign will be officially flagged off on April 27, 2026.
“Our campaign team is formidable. It draws membership from every senatorial district, every local government, every ward. We are ready for a clean, peaceful, and vigorous engagement with Ekiti people.
“Why April 27, you may want to ask? We are in order and not running late at all. We have been working. The last four years were the real campaign.
“Every commissioned road, every paid salary, every equipped hospital was campaigning for us. April 27 is just the formal flag-off under the INEC timetable. But BAO has been on the ballot of performance since Day One.
“Our instruction to party members is clear. Every APC member is an equal canvasser. No one is a spectator. This campaign is intra local government, intra ward, and intra unit. It must run without rancour. We will market our record and our plan, not abuse opponents.
APC, in a letter dated 24th April, 2026, signed by the APC National Secretary, Senator Surajudeen Ajibola Basiru, the party described the appointment as a recognition of Governor Sani’s “distinguished leadership, political experience, and commitment to the success of our party in this critical election.”
The letter, addressed to Governor Sani at the Kaduna State Government House, also extends a formal invitation to the official flag-off campaign rally for the Ekiti State governorship election.
