Afuye Praises Voter Turnout
Speaking after casting her ballot, Afuye commended residents for turning out in large numbers, saying the turnout reflected increasing political awareness and commitment to democratic participation among the electorate. She stated, “The turnout is encouraging.”
Confidence in APC Victory
Furthermore, she expressed confidence in the chances of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). The deputy governor cited the purported achievements of Governor Biodun Oyebanji’s administration in infrastructure, education, and public service delivery as reasons for her optimism.
Legit.ng earlier reported that a public affairs analyst, Donald Okwuosa, said Governor Oyebanji will likely be re-elected for a second tenure. Okwuosa noted that the incumbency factor, the game of sentiments, and Ekiti State being an APC stronghold would help Oyebanji emerge victorious.
