ADC Poised to Shake Ekiti Politics as Atiku Vows to Win 2026 Governorship Election
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) is gearing up to make a strong challenge in the 2026 governorship election in Ekiti State, with former Vice President Atiku Abubakar expressing confidence that the party will emerge victorious.
Speaking at the unveiling of the Ekiti State chapter of the ADC, Atiku urged incumbent Governor Biodun Oyebanji to prepare a handover note, hinting that his time in office may soon come to an end.
The ADC’s growing strength in Ekiti was further underscored by the defection of prominent members from other parties, including the PDP, SDP, LP, and APC.
Key figures who defected include former Deputy Governor Prof. Kolapo Olusola and other loyalists of former Governors Ayodele Fayose, Kayode Fayemi, and Segun Oni.
