The All Progressives Congress (APC), Ekiti State chapter, has dismissed a publication concerning the health and status of Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji as false and malicious, demanding an immediate retraction from those responsible.

In a statement, the party described the report as unsubstantiated speculation capable of causing unnecessary panic among residents.

The APC maintained that Governor Oyebanji is in good health and remains focused on delivering good governance to the people of Ekiti State.

The party accused the publishers of violating the ethics of responsible journalism, alleging that the report was designed to mislead the public and create anxiety over the governor’s well-being.

The APC urged the people of Ekiti State, including those in the diaspora, to disregard the publication and remain calm.

The party also reaffirmed its support for Governor Oyebanji’s administration and stated that it expected him to continue in office for a second term, following the June 20, 2026 governorship election.

The APC further called on residents to ignore what it described as fake news and continue to support the government’s development agenda.
