Ekiti Tinubu endorsement event postponed to July 28 for better coordination and stakeholder participation. Ekiti leaders reaffirm support for Tinubu and Oyebanji
Ekiti Tinubu endorsement event has been officially postponed by the Ekiti State Endorsement Committee. The statewide gathering, initially set for July 23, will now take place on Monday, July 28, at the Ekiti Parapo Pavilion, Ado-Ekiti.
This change was confirmed through a statement signed by Chief Taiwo Olatunbosun, the Public Relations Officer of the Central Organising Committee of the Endorsement Crusade.
The event aims to mobilise support for the second-term ambitions of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Governor Biodun Oyebanji.
According to the organisers, the decision to adjust the date was not taken lightly. It was made to ensure seamless participation, better logistical arrangements, and the full engagement of stakeholders from across the state.
The committee noted that the endorsement gathering holds great importance in reaffirming Ekiti State’s unwavering loyalty to the leadership of President Tinubu and Governor Oyebanji. In their view, rescheduling the event allows for greater inclusivity and meaningful representation from all local government areas.
The event venue remains unchanged. It will be held at the Ekiti Parapo Pavilion, located along New Iyin Road in Ado-Ekiti. The programme will begin at 10.00am, and attendance is expected to include top party leaders, state officials, traditional rulers, and grassroots representatives.
In the official statement, the organising body expressed gratitude to the media and public for their cooperation. “We deeply appreciate the enthusiasm and support shown towards this important gathering and count on your continued cooperation as we prepare to host a truly inclusive and impactful event in honour of our esteemed leaders,” the statement read.
The endorsement campaign is considered crucial to maintaining political unity within the state. Ekiti, known for its consistent support of progressive leadership, seeks to strengthen its ties with the federal administration.
Supporters say that both Tinubu and Oyebanji have shown strong leadership, with policies that promote growth, stability, and security.
Organisers also indicated that additional community engagement efforts will take place leading up to the new date. These include local consultations and stakeholder briefings to ensure that citizens understand the goals and relevance of the endorsement event.
According to local analysts, the delay may actually enhance the credibility of the programme by allowing more stakeholders to make necessary preparations. Improved coordination across local governments is expected to result in higher attendance and broader media coverage.
Residents who have expressed interest in attending now have extra time to make travel and accommodation arrangements. Meanwhile, local authorities are expected to provide the necessary security and traffic support to ensure a smooth and secure event.
Community leaders in the state have voiced strong support for the new date. Many argue that the extra time will help avoid rushed logistics and elevate the occasion into a more memorable and organised display of political unity.
Speaking on the development, one party official said, “This is more than an event. It is a declaration of confidence in our leaders and a renewal of our faith in good governance.”
The Ekiti Tinubu endorsement event promises to be both symbolic and strategic. By reaffirming loyalty to the President and Governor, Ekiti leaders hope to secure more development opportunities and federal engagement for their communities.
As the new date approaches, expectations remain high that the event will send a strong message of unity and political alignment from the people of Ekiti State.
