Governor Biodun Oyebanji on Monday evening paid a courtesy visit to the candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in the just concluded Ekiti State governorship election, Ambassador Dare Bejide, at his residence in Ado-Ekiti.
The visit was in fulfillment of the governor’s decision to reach out to all the contestants in the election, which he won by a landslide.
He said it was to seek their cooperation and input in the governance of the State.
Governor Oyebanji, who was accompanied on the visit by the Special Adviser on Political Matters, Chief Jide Awe, was received by Ambassador Bejide.
The two leaders had discussions on the development of the State.
Recall that Governor Oyebanji had shortly after the official announcement of the June 20, 2026 election reached out to the candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dr. Wole Oluyede, and Ambassador Bejide on the phone with a promise to follow up with a personal visit.
The governor has since visited Dr. Oluyede at his residence together with some leaders of the party before Monday’s visit to the ADC candidate’s residence.
Oyebanji’s policy of inclusion is geared towards promoting unity, peace, understanding, and mutual respect among the citizens as a major enabler for sustainable development and growth.
