Column, News, PoliticsAbiodun KOMOLAFE, Biodun Oyebanji, Ekiti State, Nigeria, Politics

One of the off-cycle elections next year will take place in Ekiti State, where Governor Biodun Oyebanji will face reelection.

Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe has denied reports claiming he threatened to shut down the National Assembly unless President Bola Tinubu secures the immediate release of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
