Ekiti State Governor, Biodun Oyebanji on Monday evening paid a courtesy visit to the Candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in the just concluded Governorship election, Ambassador Dare Bejide at his residence in Ado-Ekiti.

A report by the Special adviser to the governor, Yinka Oyebode stated that the visit was in fulfillment of the Governor’s decision to reach out to all the contestants in the election, and seek their cooperation and input in the governance of the State.

It added that Oyebanji was accompanied on the visit by the Special Adviser on Political Matters, Chief Jide Awe, and was received by Ambassador Bejide.
