Addressing supporters, he said, “This is a very massive crowd. All of you are here today because of the love you have for me and the PDP. This impressive turnout shows that Ekiti PDP is ready and prepared to take over this state by June 20, 2026, by the special grace of God.”
He added, “I urge you to continue to support me and transform the love you have for me into votes come June 20, 2026. I promise to deliver quality life to the people of the state.”
The PDP candidate pledged to run an issue-based campaign, promising wealth creation, improvement of the health sector and a shift to commercial and industrial agriculture in the state.
Also speaking, the state PDP Chairman, Rt Hon Tunji Odeyemi, described Oluyede as a credible candidate capable of winning the election, insisting that the party’s structures across Ekiti remain strong.
Party leaders, supporters, ethnic groups and community representatives at the event expressed confidence in Oluyede’s candidacy, assuring him of their votes in the 2026 governorship poll.
