Oyebanji Confident Ahead of APC Primary, Says He’s Not Afraid of Kayode Ojo

Prior to the October 27 primary elections of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Bimbo Daramola, a former lawmaker who served in Ekiti North Federal Constituency 1, has stated that the state’s governor, Biodun Oyebanji, is not deterred by Kayode Ojo, a fellow candidate.

He dismissed the rumor that Oyebanji, claiming the governor was a Democrat, prohibited state cabinet officials and local government chairmen from hosting Kayode Ojo and other candidates in their communities.

Oyebanji only voiced his opinions, Daramola told reporters in Ado-Ekiti, adding that the governor has the right to contextualize his opinions on any matter.

Despite the persistent division within the party, Daramola insisted that the APC is not in crisis and that the current governor would win the primary without any problems.

When questioned about the primary election strategy that would work best for Oyebanji, he firmly stated that, regardless of the party’s choice between direct and indirect primary elections, the governor has all the tools necessary to defeat other candidates.

In addition, he denounced those who criticized the governor for bringing a big group of interested parties to the APC Secretariat in Abuja to turn in his nomination form, claiming that the state’s leader is an incumbent governor who is well-liked by everyone.

“Oyebanji is not nervous about anyone, he is not worried about everyone,” he stated. Kayode Ojo, my brother and buddy, is well-aware of himself if you’re referring to him in this manner. What has he expressed his desire to accomplish for the people of Ekiti?

I don’t want to discuss Kayode too much, though, because he’s a buddy of mine. I don’t speak as though I don’t know him because I have a great deal of respect for him and we have a friendly relationship.

“I’ll treat Kayode Ojo with the same respect that I gave Governor Biodun Oyebanji when he was merely an audience member, but I’ll talk about the facts here.

Is a man afraid that he said, “Bring the primary on? Who is scared? Nope! Let me tell you that decision-making ability varies in every community. People in our society are diverse and have varying degrees of comprehension. I am here at this level, and you cannot tell me that I will be given a little leeway.

I am aware of the reason for my lack of an appointment. That does not imply that I do not participate in that pool. Many people will say, “We recognize this name, we know this name,” when I enter the highest pool in this nation. They know when to use all humility when throwing my name into that pool. No question about that, and you expect me to think like someone who has never left Igirigiri.
