Primate Babatunde Elijah Ayodele, founder of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, has declared that Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji will win the 2026 Ekiti governorship election. The election, held on Saturday, June 20, 2026, features 14 candidates, including top contenders Governor Oyebanji (APC), Oluwole Oluyede (PDP), and Oluwadare Bejide.
Prophecy Details
In a message released on Friday, June 19, Ayodele stated: “Oyebanji will win this election tomorrow (Saturday, June 20).” The cleric dashed the hopes of the main opposition PDP and its candidate, Wole Oluyede, as well as other competing parties.
The prophecy was shared via a video on Facebook, where Ayodele confidently predicted the APC candidate's victory.
Election Preparations
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) confirmed full preparedness for the exercise, with sensitive and non-sensitive materials already distributed. Voting commenced in several parts of Ekiti State as of the time of this report.
