Ekiti State Governor, Biodun Oyebanji, on Thursday hailed the verdict of the Supreme Court that reaffirmed his election as the Governor of the state.
He described the verdict as a victory for democracy and the good people of Ekiti who voted for him to pilot the affairs of the state.
The Apex court sitting in Abuja on Thursday dismissed the petition of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) Governorship Candidate, Chief Segun Oni, challenging Oyebanji’s victory at June 18, 2022, Governorship election in Ekiti State.
The Governor, who spoke to journalists in Ado-Ekiti after laying the foundation for the Nigerian Air Force Base, restated his belief that his election as Governor was God-ordained and actualised by majority votes of the people of the state.
He also said his respect for Chief Segun Oni, a former chieftain of All Progressives Congress (APC) remained intact and that he would soon visit him to discuss how to move the state forward.
He urged the SDP Candidate to join him in the development efforts in the state, having explored all judicial processes available.
