The Chairman of the Joint Negotiating Council (JNC), Ekiti State, Comrade Femi Ajoloko, has congratulated Governor Biodun Oyebanji on his victory at the Federal High Court, Abuja, in the suit filed by a disqualified APC female aspirant, Abimbola Olajumoke.
In a statement issued in Ado-Ekiti on Tuesday, Ajoloko described the court’s ruling as “a victory for democracy, due process, and the will of the people of Ekiti State.”
He said the judgment affirmed the governor’s adherence to the rule of law and party guidelines in the build-up to the 2026 gubernatorial election.
“The JNC, as the umbrella body of public service workers in Ekiti, is pleased with this outcome. It puts to rest unnecessary distractions and allows the governor to remain focused on delivering good governance and consolidating on his achievements,” Ajoloko stated.
The JNC Chairman noted that workers in the state had benefited from Oyebanji’s worker-friendly policies, prompt payment of salaries and pensions, and inclusive approach to labour relations.
“Governor Oyebanji has shown commitment to continuity, welfare, and development. This court victory is a further validation of his mandate and leadership. We urge all stakeholders to close ranks and support the administration in the interest of Ekiti,” he added.
Ajoloko called on residents of the state to sustain their support for the governor, assuring that the JNC would continue to partner with government to advance the welfare of workers and promote peace in the state.
