Oyebanji Denies Defection To ADC

News Investigators/ Ogun State Governor, Biodun Oyebanji, has denied an online report claiming he has joined the African Democratic Congress (ADC), calling it misleading and false.

This is contained in a statement on Monday by Yinka Oyebode, Special Adviser on Media and Chief Press Secretary to the governor.

Mr Oyebode said the report, spread by unnamed individuals, falsely claimed that Governor Oyebanji and some officials were being led into ADC by former Governor, Dr Kayode Fayemi.

“For clarity, Governor Oyebanji and all public office holders mentioned remain firmly committed to the All Progressives Congress (APC) and have no link with the ADC,” Oyebode said.

He added that the governor has, since the start of the Fourth Republic in 1999, consistently remained within the progressive political movement in Ekiti State.

“He is among the few politicians who have never defected from the progressive fold in the state,” he noted.

Mr Oyebode accused certain individuals of trying to exploit the governor’s relationship with Fayemi to sow discord between him and President Bola Tinubu.

“Unfortunately for these mischief makers, President Tinubu is a strategic leader who can see through their agenda and antics,” he explained.

He urged residents of Ekiti State to ignore the “childish media attack” allegedly orchestrated by desperate politicians eyeing the governorship seat.

“Now that INEC has announced the primary election date, let them be brave enough to present their ambitions to APC members,” Oyebode added.
