Against the backdrop of endorsement for second term in office and activities ahead of the 2026 governorship election, Ekiti State governor, Biodun Oyebanji has said his political future would be determined by God who has never failed him.

Governor Oyebanji stated this in Ado Ekiti on Friday night at the monthly Evening of Praise and Worship at the Jibowu Hall, Government House Ground.

He expressed confidence in God’s ability to work out things in his favour, maintaining that God who did it for him in 2022, would do it again in 2026.

The Governor who disclosed that he received text messages from politicians regularly, expressing anxieties over 2026, said his belief is that God’s plan supersedes any human agenda, adding that he would not lose sleep over the development as God is in control.

Reflecting on his administration’s achievement so far, Governor Oyebanji attributed the significant progress recorded across critical sectors in the state to divine intervention despite the economic realities.

He added that since he handed over Ekiti state to God, the state has enjoyed abundant peace, progress and prosperity.

Speaking further, the Governor said his focus remains on delivering good governance and fulfilling the promises he made to Ekiti people.

“God is in charge of everything including the 2026 that many people are anxious about.

“He will take care of everything. For now, let us concentrate on the work that has been given to us and let us do it very well,” he added.

According to him, “For those that are worried about 2026, sending me text messages everyday, don’t bother yourself.

“God that did the last one will do it again. Don’t bother yourself. Some complain that I am not a politician, that I don’t understand politics.

“I am not bothered about this, nothing is going to stop my peace because I serve the God of peace.

“What God does not give a man, he cannot have it and when God makes up his mind, nobody can stop him.

“So, I am just saying this so that you can stop sending me text messages expressing anxieties about 2026.” (Saturday Tribune)
