Ekiti APC guber candidate Oyebanji advocates for peaceful election

Governorship Candidate of the All Progressives Congress in Ekiti State, Biodun Oyebanji, has advocated for a peaceful election in the state on June 18.

Oyebanji said this when he paid host to various Non-Governmental Organizations, including Women Development Initiative (NIGAWD) and non-Violence Against Women in Politics (VAWIP) and the representative of National Democratic Institute, in Ado Ekiti.

According to a statement by his media aide, Raheem Akingbole, the guber candidate called on stakeholders in the state to make sure the coming election is conducted without any rancour.

“I’m so excited today to identify with this noble campaign which centres around peaceful election, non-violence against women in politics and empowerment of Nigerian youths. Again, I’m using this opportunity to call on political leaders and their followers to ensure peaceful election come June 18 because no election is worth the blood of any Ekiti man or woman.

“We are one and we should embrace peace because no society grows in the midst of crisis. I’m also committed to further boosting women participation in politics and will ensure, if elected governor, that more women are appointed into government because women are known to be more effective in administration.

“On youths development, which incidentally is one of the major areas I focus in my manifesto, I will not only give priority to youth development but will also separate the Ministry of Youths Development from Sports for effectiveness,” Oyebanji said.
