‘Stop Sending Me Messages, I Will Not Lose Sleep Over Re-election’ – Gov Oyebanji Tells Politicians

Ekiti State Governor, Biodun Oyebanji, has said he is not worried over agitations from politicians ahead of the 2026 governorship election in the state.
Naijaonpoint reports that Oyebanji spoke in Ado Ekiti on Friday night at the monthly Evening of Praise and Worship at the Jibowu Hall, Government House Ground.

Oyebanji said he would not lose sleep over the election and advised politicians to stop sending him such text messages, stressing he was committed to good governance and fulfilling his electoral promises.

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.

Oyebanji, who attributed the significant progress that his administration recorded across critical sectors in the state to divine intervention despite the economic realities, said, “My focus remains on delivering good governance and fulfilling the promises I made to Ekiti people.”

He said, “My belief is that God’s plan supersedes any human agenda. I will not lose sleep over the development as God is in control, my political future is in the hands of God, who has never failed me.

“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.

“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.

“For those that are worried about 2026, sending me text messages every day, don’t bother yourselves. God that did the last one will do it again. Don’t bother yourselves. Some complain that I am not a politician and 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.”
