Former Ekiti State governor Ayodele Fayose votes at a polling unit in Afao-Ekiti during the ongoing governorship election and publicly predicts a strong outcome for incumbent Governor Biodun Oyebanji. Fayose casts his vote at Polling Unit 1, St. David Primary School, Afao-Ekiti, and tells journalists that Oyebanji is on track to win, citing voters’ mood and visible “body language” in the state. Vanguard and Premium Times report that Fayose frames his prediction as an “overwhelming” or “landslide” victory.
Other politicians also express optimism about the election result. Ekiti North Senator Cyril Fasuyi votes or arrives at his polling unit in Ido-Ekiti and tells journalists he expects Oyebanji to win. Reports from Afao-Ekiti also highlight heavy voter turnout in Fayose’s hometown on election day.
Premium Times notes that while Fayose remains a PDP figure, he has previously broken ranks with the party’s traditional position and endorsed Oyebanji and the APC candidate for re-election. The articles collectively describe the voting process and multiple public endorsements and predictions ahead of the final results.
