Senator Cyril Fasuyi, representing Ekiti North, voiced strong confidence on Saturday regarding the outcome of the ongoing governorship election in Ekiti State. He firmly believes that Governor Biodun Oyebanji will emerge victorious.
After arriving at his polling unit located in Isape Ward 1, Unit 16, Ido-Ekiti, Fasuyi addressed journalists. He emphasized that he joined the queue like every other voter, following electoral regulations. He stressed that no one should receive preferential treatment during the voting process.
The senator noted that the atmosphere at the polling station was calm and orderly. He expressed satisfaction with how voters and election officials conducted themselves early in the exercise.
Fasuyi reiterated his belief that the incumbent governor would secure another term. “I arrived around 8:30am and I am in line just like everyone else. I don’t want to bypass the queue. When my turn comes, I will get accredited and vote. It is very peaceful, as you can see,” he stated.
He added, “It is still early, so we cannot predict the final outcome. Voting continues until 3 or 4 o’clock. But based on what we are seeing, I don’t think the turnout is very low. More people are expected to come out.”
The senator remarked, “We have done our part, and that ended on Thursday. We cannot do it again. We have worked hard, prayed, and now we wait for the results of our efforts over the past three or four months.”
“I am confident that my candidate, Governor Oyebanji, will still win the election, by God’s grace, today,” Fasuyi affirmed. “If we reach 500,000 votes, glory be to God. If we don’t, as long as my candidate is victorious, then glory be to God because we cannot force people to vote.”
