PDP keen to unseat Oyebanji in 2026 – Caretaker chair

The Peoples Democratic Party in Ekiti State has charged members to rededicate themselves to be able to wrestle power from the Biodun Oyebanji-led All Progressives Congress government in the state in the 2026 governorship election.

The party at a stakeholders’ meeting chaired by the PDP State Caretaker Committee Chairman, Dare Adeleke, charged its leaders and other stakeholders to work assiduously and bring the party back to winning ways.

In a communiqué at the end of the meeting signed by Adeleke, the party charged the newly appointed PDP Local Government Caretaker Committee members to “embark on aggressive mobilisation of party members across their domain and do more to reconcile all aggrieved members.”

Also at the meeting were the state caretaker committee members; the zonal chairman, represented by the SW organizing secretary; leaders and stakeholders across the 16 local government areas and local government caretaker committee chairmen.

The PDP caretaker chairman charged members “to mobilise and work very hard in a bid to win the next governorship election in Ekiti State and deliver the citizens from the shackles of hunger, anger, abject poverty, deprivation, killings, kidnapping and bad governance.”

The party leadership also resolved that “all stakeholders should go back home, put their acts together and prepare adequately for the coming congress.

“All leaders and stakeholders should act as their titles imply and resist descending into the political arena each time political decisions, taken in the overall interest of the party, are not in their favour.”

The stakeholders praised the party National Working Committee for all the efforts at making sure that Ekiti PDP gets its right.

They frowned at the distractions from the courts through various cases against the party.
