A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekiti State,  Segun Ajibulu, has declared his intention to represent Ekiti North Senatorial District at the National Assembly, pledging support for the second-term ambitions of Governor Biodun Oyebanji and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Ajibulu, a financial expert and grassroots politician, said his aspiration was driven by a desire to bring his wealth of experience to bear on legislative duties, particularly in the areas of economic policy, fiscal discipline and constituency development.

Speaking during consultations with party stakeholders, Ajibulu described the administration of Governor Oyebanji as “focused, inclusive and development-driven,” noting that continuity is essential to sustain the gains recorded across critical sectors in Ekiti State.

He therefore urged party members and the electorate to support the governor's second term bid, stressing that ongoing infrastructure projects and governance reforms require time and stability to yield optimal results.

At the national level, Ajibulu also expressed strong support for the economic reforms being implemented by President Tinubu, describing them as bold steps aimed at repositioning Nigeria's economy for sustainable growth.

According to him, while some of the policies may come with initial challenges, they are necessary to address long-standing structural issues and build a more resilient economic framework.

He maintained that consistency in policy implementation remains key to achieving meaningful progress, adding that a second term for the President would allow the reforms to mature and deliver expected benefits to Nigerians.

Ajibulu further emphasised that his legislative agenda, if elected, would align with the reform-driven vision of the current administration, with a focus on attracting investments, promoting job creation and enhancing the welfare of constituents.

Political observers in the state believe that Ajibulu's combination of professional expertise, grassroots appeal and alignment with both state and national leadership could position him as a strong contender in the forthcoming senatorial race.

As political activities gather momentum ahead of the elections, stakeholders said the contest for Ekiti North Senatorial District is expected to intensify, with Ajibulu emerging as one of the aspirants to watch within the APC.
