Ekiti State Governor, Biodun Oyebanji, has said he is not worried about the 2026 governorship election in the state.
Speaking at the monthly Evening of Praise and Worship at the Jibowu Hall, Government House Ground, Ado-Ekiti on Friday, Oyebanji said his administration remained focused on delivering good governance and fulfilling his promises to the people.
Oyebanji disclosed that he often received text messages from politicians, expressing fear over the 2026 election, maintaining that “he would not lose sleep over the development as God is in control.”
He noted his belief that God’s plan superseded any human agenda, saying God who did it for him in 2022, would do it again in 2026.
He said, “God is in charge of everything including the 2026 that many people are anxious about. He will take care of everything. For now, let us concentrate on the work that has been given to us and let us do it very well.
“For those that are worried about 2026, sending me text messages every day, don’t bother yourself. God that did the last one will do it again. Don’t bother yourself. Some complain that I am not a politician, that I don’t understand politics. I am not bothered about this, nothing is going to stop my peace because I serve the God of peace.
“What God does not give a man, he cannot have it and when God makes up his mind, nobody can stop him. So, I am just saying this so that you can stop sending me text messages expressing anxieties about 2026.”
