Former Gov Fayose’s Younger Brother Joins 2026 Ekiti Guber Race

Former governor Ayo Fayose’s  younger brother, Mr  Emmanuel Fayose, has announced his decision to join the 2026 Ekiti State gubernatorial race.

Team@orientactualmags.com learned that Fayose, who disclosed this in a statement on Friday, noted that his decision to join the guber race was borne out of his desire to revamp Ekiti and return the state to the path of growth and development.

‘I am in the race to dislodge the Oyebanji-led government, and eventually, if I win, I will run an inclusive government that would steer Ekiti in the right direction’ he said.

This is coming a few days after  former governor Ayo Fayose  met with President Bola Tinubu in Lagos and reportedly  promised him that he would support Governor Biodun Oyebanji’s re-election bid.

PDP members in Ekiti State had condemned this describing it as an anti-party activity.

‘I have read about the meeting in the newspapers like any other person and I wish to state that the meeting has nothing to do with my aspiration.

The meeting will not in any way impact my aspiration because the former governor, being my elder brother, is only exercising his Democratic rights of freedom of choice.

His choice and preferences will not and cannot in any way impact negatively on my bid as we are separate entities pursuing different goals’ Emmanuel Fayose said.

 ‘So, my brother is on his own and it’s left for the leadership of our great party to ascertain his political allegiance either to our PDP or APC. I am, however, using the opportunity provided by this platform to urge our teeming supporters to remain firm and resolute and not to be distracted in any way to cause the needed change in our state’ he added-Team@orientactualmags.com  Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
