Nigerian businessman, critic, and influencer Isaac Fayose has urged the electorate in Ekiti State to vote out the incumbent Governor, Biodun Oyebanji, during the June 20, 2026, gubernatorial election.
He gave the advice on Friday in a now-trending video shared on his official Facebook page.
Isaac, who is the brother of former Ekiti Governor Ayo Fayose, was reacting to news that President Bola Tinubu will visit the state on Monday to officially kick off the governor’s campaign for a second term in office.
According to reports, the President is expected to inaugurate the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship campaign in Ekiti State on April 27, 2026.
The event is scheduled to take place at the Ekiti Parapo Pavilion in the state capital, Ado-Ekiti.

Reacting to the development, Fayose wondered why the governor had failed to invite the President for project commissioning since he took office.
He argued that re-electing the governor would be reinforcing failure in the South-West state, adding that it would drag “Ekiti people back”.
Speaking in the video, he said: “I heard that Mr President will be coming to Ekiti State on Monday to flag off [the campaign].
“Mr President, for over three and a half years, why didn’t they invite you to come and commission anything? Now they are inviting you to come and flag off the campaign.
“Why do you want to reinforce failure in Ekiti State? You are dragging Ekiti people back. Now you want to give this guy another four years of hopelessness and nothing to show? This is unfair to the Ekiti people.”
