Former Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose has said that the victory of Governor Biodun Oyebanji at the All Progressives Congress (APC) primary and next year’s election would defy fake prophecy by some prophets.
He said the political space has no room for what he described as psychological prophecies and empty predictions that lack genuine insight. Fayose said: “In Ekiti State’s political landscape, one thing is clear: Governor Biodun Oyebanji’s re-election is a foregone conclusion due to his impressive track record and the people’s faith in his leadership. The people of Ekiti have spoken loud and clear through their actions.”
The former governor said Oyebanji’s achievements speak for themselves, citing the reconnection of intra-state road networks, the restoration of electricity to abandoned communities, and the engagement of jobless youths as testaments to his commitment to development.
He said these tangible results, have restored the dignity of Omoluabi, a value that Ekiti is known for.
Fayose said prophecies that attempt to influence the narrative are falling flat, particularly the predictions that seem to be more about taking advantage of people than providing genuine insight.
Stressing that prophecies are meant to reveal mysteries, not the obvious, he added: “You should have come with all these predictions before the 2022 gubernatorial election, not when the outcome is clear and known to those involved.”
Fayose said his assessment of the situation in Ekiti and belief in victory are based on Oyebanji’s achievements, insisting thst his re-election is certain.
He said the facts would speak for themselves instead of prediction by those laying claim to supernatural insight.
He said: “As Ekiti State prepares for the next phase of its development, it’s clear that Governor Oyebanji is the people’s choice. His leadership has earned him a mandate that transcends party lines, and his commitment to the people of Ekiti is unwavering. In the end, it’s Oyebanji’s performance that will be remembered, not empty prophecies.”
