The Ekiti State Governor, Biodun Oyebanji, has warned candidates contesting for the state’s Local Government Election slated for December not to put him under any pressure whatsoever.
The governor pledged not to impose any candidate on the people at the local government because he is a person of process, therefore, none of the candidates contesting in the election should try to lobby him for any for possible imposition.
Oyebanji gave this warning at a town hall meeting with stakeholders in Ekiti North Senatorial District, in Ido Ekiti. Present at the meeting were stakeholders from Ido/Osi, Moba, Ilejemeje, Ikole and Oye council areas. 
At the event, Naija News gathered that the governor noted that he would be fair to all contestants and give everyone a level playing ground.
He said, “I will be fair to all of you.
“I am a process person, so nobody should put me under pressure because the party has been handed into the hands of the leaders.
“They are the owners of the party, so all of you, particularly the contestants, must cooperate with them.
“I am not going to impose anybody.
“Many of you are now scrambling for council positions because you now consider it juicier than commissionership.
“Whoever doesn’t respect the leaders of the party will mismanage the council, if elected.
“I have instructed the leaders to take charge.
“Those running from pillar to post, I wish them well, but I am with the party.”
