The Ekiti State 2026 Governorship Election Campaign Council has announced Senator Cyril Fasuyi, who represents Ekiti North Senatorial District, as the Director-General of Governor Biodun Oyebanji’s re-election campaign ahead of the June 20 polls.
The announcement came during the Council’s inaugural meeting in Ado-Ekiti on Monday, where several key decisions were made to strengthen the campaign structure.
Speaking to journalists after the meeting, the Council Chairman and Senate Leader, Senator Opeyemi Bamidele, revealed that new positions for the various campaign directorates were also created as part of the organizational plan.
Senator Bamidele confirmed that the Council members unanimously endorsed Senator Fasuyi for the role of Campaign Director-General. Fasuyi had previously held the same position during Oyebanji’s successful 2022 governorship campaign.
Expressing confidence in the appointment, Senator Bamidele said the Council believes Fasuyi is well-positioned to deliver even stronger results than in 2022. He also noted that Senator Yemi Adaramodu, representing Ekiti South in the National Assembly, will serve as Deputy Director-General for the campaign.
