… Says ‘Oyebanji is my Greatest Achievement’
A Former Governor of Ekiti State, Dr Kayode Fayemi has lauded the three years performance of the Governor of the State, Mr Biodun Oyebanji, describing him as his greatest achievement.
Fayemi gave the commendation at Ijelu-Ekiti during the commissioning of the newly constructed Itapa-Ijelu-Omu road, as part of activities marking the third anniversary of the Oyebanji administration.
Addressing journalists at the event, Fayemi said “Absolutely, he is my greatest achievement because I have my own imperfection but those imperfection he has managed to either correct or reduce them and God has been kind to us in Ekiti by giving us a Governor who can focus on the transformation agenda for the people of Ekiti, and who is not giving to unnecessary politicking at the expense of the important issue of development”, he added.
He said the success of Oyebanji’s administration is a validation of his belief in purposeful leadership, adding that the Governor’s record of performance in three years has justified the decision of the All Progressive Congress (APC) and Ekiti people to present Oyebanji as the consensus candidate for the 2026 governorship election.
Fayemi, who rode into the venue of the event in same vehicle with Oyebanji, applauded the Governor for prioritizing infrastructure development, particularly road construction and rehabilitation, which, according to him, has improved connectivity, boosted commerce and eased transportation across the State.
He explained that the new roads being constructed and commissioned by Governor Oyebanji in different parts of the state are strategic to Ekiti’s economic growth, as they link key agriculture, business communities and tourism corridor to major urban centres.
Fayemi said “ I want to thank our Governor for not disappointing us and for holding firm to his God and the truth in delivering the task of governing Ekiti and leaving it better than the way we left it. We have every reason to be proud of him. We have no reason to abandon him. Just like the Governor mentioned in his remarks, I was counting roads that we started and could not complete and I cannot recollect any that has not been completed now- Itapa-Ijelu-Omu, done; Omisanjana-Atlas, completed; Agric Olope-Moferere completed; Ijurin-Ayegunle, completed; GRA Third Extension, completed; Ikole-Ara-Isinbode, completed; Ikere-Ilawe, completed and of course Ekiti Ring Road has been completed”, Dr Fayemi added.
Earlier in his remarks, Governor Oyebanji, who expressed profound appreciation to his predecessor for laying a solid foundation on which his administration is building, said his achievements so far were collective efforts of successive administrations that shared a common vision for a prosperous Ekiti.
