I will not lose sleep over the 2026 election in Ekiti – Oyebanji

The Ekiti State Governor, Biodun Oyebanji, said on Friday he would not sleep over the 2026 governorship election in the state.

Oyebanji stated this at the monthly Evening of Praise and Worship at the Jibowu Hall, Government House Ground in Ado Ekiti.

He reaffirmed his commitment to good governance in the state.

Oyebanji said: “I believe that God’s plan supersedes any human agenda. I will not lose sleep over the development as God is in control.

“What God does not give a man, he cannot have it and when God makes up his mind, nobody can stop him. So, I am just saying this so that you can stop sending me text messages expressing anxieties about 2026.”

He expressed confidence on his chances in the election.

“My focus remains on delivering good governance and fulfilling the promises I made to the Ekiti people.

“God is in charge of everything including the 2026 that many people are anxious about. He will take care of everything. For now, let us concentrate on the work that has been given to us and let us do it very well.

“For those that are worried about 2026, sending me text messages every day, don’t bother yourselves. God that did the last one will do it again.

“Don’t bother yourselves. Some complain that I am not a politician and that I don’t understand politics. I am not bothered about this, nothing is going to stop my peace because I serve the God of peace,” the governor added.
