The All Progressives Congress (APC) has stepped up its campaign machinery in Ekiti State, as Kaduna State Governor and Chairman of the party’s National Campaign Council, Uba Sani, arrived in Ado-Ekiti ahead of the governorship race.
His visit on Monday set the tone for the party’s push to secure a second term for the incumbent governor, Biodun Oyebanji, with the official flag-off rally expected to draw key figures from across the APC.
Sani was received by Oyebanji, alongside senior party leaders and stakeholders, in what appeared to be a coordinated show of unity as the campaign gathered pace.
Shortly after his arrival, Sani moved into a closed-door meeting with the governor and top party figures.

At the heart of the APC’s message is continuity.
Reelection
Sani pointed to what he described as tangible progress under Oyebanji’s leadership, arguing that the administration’s record provides a strong case for re-election.
He linked the state’s development efforts to the broader Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Tinubu, suggesting that alignment with federal priorities has helped drive results.
With the governorship election scheduled for 20 June 2026 by the Independent National Electoral Commission, the APC appears determined to run a disciplined and united campaign.
Sani stressed that cohesion within the party and sustained engagement at the grassroots would be key to securing victory.
The forthcoming flag-off rally at the Ekiti Parapo Pavilion is expected to serve as the official launchpad for the party’s statewide mobilisation, setting the stage for what promises to be a closely watched contest.
