The governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ekiti State, Dr. Wole Oluyede, is set to visit Efon-Alaaye on Monday, May 26, as part of his statewide campaign tour ahead of the June 20, 2026 governorship election.
Oluyede, who recently commenced consultation and campaign visits across the 16 Local Government Areas of the state, is expected to lead his campaign train to the ancient town in a bid to mobilise support for his governorship ambition.
The visit, according to party leaders, forms part of intensified grassroots engagements by the PDP candidate as political activities gather momentum ahead of the crucial governorship poll.
This was disclosed in a statement issued on Saturday by the PDP Chairman in Efon Local Government and Chairman of Ekiti PDP Chairmen, Aare Ajanaku Oluyemi (JP), who expressed confidence in the party’s growing acceptance within the community.
Oluyemi assured the candidate of massive support from the people of Efon-Alaaye, stressing that residents of the town remain committed to delivering overwhelming votes for the PDP in the forthcoming election.
He described Oluyede as a credible and visionary leader with the capacity to reposition Ekiti State through people-oriented policies and inclusive governance.
As part of activities lined up for the visit, the PDP governorship candidate is also expected to pay a courtesy visit to the Alaaye of Efon Kingdom, Emmanuel Adesanya Aladejare, to seek royal blessings and traditional support ahead of the election.
Party supporters and residents are expected to receive the PDP candidate and his entourage during the visit, which party stakeholders believe will further strengthen the party’s grassroots mobilisation drive in Efon Local Government Area.
