According to Nivo News, Oyebanji, who ran unopposed, was unanimously endorsed by 885 delegates representing all 177 wards of the state. His affirmation followed the withdrawal of Mrs. Atinuke Oluremi Omolayo and the disqualification of Kayode Ojo and Abimbola Olajumoke, who did not meet the party’s eligibility criteria.
During the APC governorship primary held at the Ekiti Parapo Pavilion in Ado-Ekiti, Omolayo publicly announced her decision to step down for Oyebanji, citing his outstanding achievements in governance and developmental strides as her motivation.
“Governor Oyebanji has performed excellently well. His record in infrastructure, governance, and inclusiveness speaks volumes. He deserves a second term, and that is why I am stepping down to support him fully,” she declared.
Omolayo further revealed that her entire political structure across the 16 local government areas had been integrated into Oyebanji’s re-election campaign, describing her move as an act of loyalty to the party and commitment to Ekiti’s progress.
Following her withdrawal, Senate Leader Opeyemi Bamidele moved a motion to ratify Oyebanji’s nomination as the APC candidate, which was seconded by the Speaker of the Ekiti State House of Assembly, Adeoye Aribasoye. In line with Section 84(11) of the Electoral Act, 2022, the delegates affirmed the motion through a unanimous voice vote, sealing Oyebanji’s candidacy for the 2026 governorship poll.

Tension In Abuja As JAMB Officials Storm Out Of House Of Reps Meeting
A dramatic scene unfolded at the National Assembly on Wednesday when officials of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) walked out during an investigative session with the House of Representatives Committee on Basic Education and Examination Bodies.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
According to Nivo News, the lawmakers had summoned the JAMB Registrar, Professor Ishaq Oloyede, to present certain documents before the committee. However, Oloyede was absent and sent a representative, Director Mufutau Bello, who appeared alongside other top officials of the Board.
Tension arose when Bello reportedly insisted that journalists should not be present during his presentation, arguing that the documents contained sensitive information. The committee members, however, rejected his request, insisting that the session was a public hearing and that the Board had no authority to determine how parliamentary proceedings should be conducted.
The disagreement quickly escalated, leading Bello to order his team to walk out of the session, an action that left the lawmakers visibly shocked.
In reaction, the committee directed the Sergeant-at-Arms to arrest the JAMB officials, but they had already exited the National Assembly complex before the order could be executed.
Following the incident, the committee issued an ultimatum, mandating JAMB Registrar Professor Oloyede to appear in person before next Tuesday to present the required documents. Lawmakers warned that failure to comply could result in the issuance of a warrant of arrest.

Oladips Alleges EFCC Extorted ₦10 Million Before His Release.
According to Nivo News, popular Nigerian rapper Oladips has alleged that operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) collected ₦10 million from him before granting his release following his arrest in 2024.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The artist made this revelation during an interview on the Trending podcast, where he recounted his experience during the five days he spent in EFCC custody after being arrested in a midnight raid at his estate last November.
Oladips explained that he was detained alongside several neighbours on suspicion of internet fraud but maintained that nothing incriminating was discovered against him. He expressed frustration over the alleged extortion, describing his ordeal as a reflection of the country’s flawed system.
“It’s just one smelling place. They packed us there like sardines and gave us nonsense food. Funny enough, it was Zlatan that was sending me food. He’s more like family,” Oladips shared. “I wasn’t even supposed to be there. They didn’t find anything on me, not even a single thing, and they still collected ₦10 million before they released me.”
When asked if he would take legal action against the agency, Oladips responded rhetorically, “Who is my father? It’s just me and my truth. I don’t even know how the system works. They know I’m saying the truth. They collected money from me without finding anything on me. What was the money for? What was all that stress for? Nigeria just happened to me.”
