No Amount of Intimidation or Political Pressure Will Stop My Mission To “Rescue Ekiti People From Poverty, Backwardness And Failed Leadership.” -Wole Oluyede
The governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Ekiti State, Dr. Wole Oluyede, has declared that no amount of intimidation or political pressure will stop his mission to “rescue Ekiti people from poverty, backwardness and failed leadership.”
He also dismissed concerns over his recent quietness and waved aside what he described as false narratives being pushed by “hired propagandists” of the Oyebanji government, assuring Ekiti people that he remains the incoming governor of the state.
Oluyede, speaking through the Press Secretary to the Wole Oluyede Campaign Organisation, Idowu Adelusi, said he deliberately left his comfort zone to contest the June 20 governorship election because the people of Ekiti deserve better leadership than what he described as the “directionless administration” of Governor Biodun Oyebanji and the All Progressives Congress, APC.
The PDP candidate said the growing attacks and intimidation allegedly targeted at some of his supporters were clear signs that the ruling party was already afraid of defeat.
“I want to assure Ekiti people that no person on earth can intimidate me. What they are doing to some of my supporters only confirms one thing, Oyebanji is afraid of defeat, probably because he has seen it.” Oluyede stated.
He added that the people of the state had continued to bombard him with calls and messages asking why the PDP had not fully commenced its major campaign activities. He assured them that the party was ready to “hit the ground running.”
According to him, “for emphasis, the handwriting is already on the wall” for the APC administration in the state. “The Egyptian you see today, you shall see no more after June 20, 2026, by God’s grace.” he declared.
Oluyede accused the APC of using propagandists both within and outside Ekiti to create what he called a false impression that the governorship election would merely be a “coronation” for Governor Oyebanji.
“They told the same lies in 2003 and again in 2014, yet they suffered humiliating defeat in the hands of the PDP,” he said.
The PDP standard bearer further told supporters not to lose sleep or hope, insisting that a “new dawn” was coming to Ekiti State through the ballot box.
Edo North senator, Adams Oshiomhole, has playfully called out Senate President Godswill Akpabio for breaching truce over ‘massaging women’s legs’ comment.
At plenary on Thursday, Oshiomhole said he signed a truce of no more hostilities, stating that Akpabio breached the agreement by reverting to previous matters.
DAILY POST reports that Akpabio had mocked Oshiomhole over the viral video allegedly showing him massaging a woman’s leg aboard a private jet.
The Senate President stated that the Senate initially ignored the footage because it was suspected to have been generated using artificial intelligence, AI.
Recall that a video which surfaced on X on February 3, 2026, sparked widespread reactions after it allegedly showed the former Edo State governor massaging a woman’s leg inside a private jet, days later the lawmaker debunked the video stating that it was AI.
Joking over it at the plenary, Oshiomhole said, “I want to report to this house that the senate president and I we signed a truce of no more hostilities and senate president breach the truce by reverting to previous matter, the truce stands, you should not violate, I will not violate.”
Responding, Akpabio said, “Let me first of all apologize to Oshiomhole if whatever I said could in any way injure him or feel offended.”
