Charges APC Members to Enhance BAO’s Support With Eligibility

By Lukman Babatope

The Speaker of the Ekiti State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Adeoye Aribasoye, has called on eligible citizens to embrace voter registration as part of efforts to strengthen democracy and secure their franchise.

Aribasoye made the appeal while leading a 72-hour mobilization tour of Ikole Local Government, rallying support for Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji (BAO) ahead of the All Progressives Congress (APC) primary election scheduled for October 27.

In a statement signed by his media aide, Babajide Agbeyo, the Speaker, who also heads the party’s mobilization committee in Ikole, toured several wards with other committee members to reinforce grassroots backing for the governor’s re-election bid.

During the visits, Prince Michael Ogungbemi, a council chairman and member of the committee, highlighted Governor Oyebanji’s achievements, including solar-powered palace boreholes, community water projects, maternity centre upgrades, and vital bridge constructions.

The APC chairman in Ikole, Mr. Ebenezer Omotosho, expressed confidence in Oyebanji’s chances, describing the Assembly under Aribasoye’s leadership as a stabilizing force for the administration.

The tour also witnessed new defections into the APC, with defectors pledging loyalty to the BAO agenda.

At Odo Ayedun Ekiti, Ward 8, Aribasoye’s home base, the rally turned festive, with live music, women’s groups, and jubilant youths declaring solidarity.

Speaking at the event, the Speaker urged members to back their words of support with action, mobilization, and vigilance. He described the BAO agenda as a mission to consolidate on three years of gains, not “a deceptive movement.”

“Prepare your minds to give the governor overwhelming victory at the primary,” Aribasoye told party supporters.
