Oyebanji: The People’s Choice for Continuity and Inclusive Governance
By Osunmuyiwa Stephen
As Ekiti State approaches another decisive political moment, one truth rings clear across towns and villages: Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji is the undisputed choice of the people. His leadership has been marked by inclusiveness, transparency, and a rare humility that makes him not just a governor but a true servant of the people.
In less than three years, Governor Biodun Oyebanji has touched every facet of the Ekiti story, from roads and power, to water and education, to welfare and grassroots empowerment. These are not mere promises, they are visible testimonies that speak louder than politics.
PROJECTS THAT SPEAK FOR HIS MANDATE
Urban Renewal & Roads: From BOVAS Road in Ado-Ekiti to the Ikole Township Roads and the landmark Ring Road project, Oyebanji has proven that infrastructure is the backbone of development. Over ₦200 billion worth of road projects covering 350 kilometres have been spread across all 16 LGAs, ensuring no community is left behind.
Builders’ Market: The new Ekiti Builders’ Market in Ado-Ekiti boosts commerce, giving artisans, traders and builders a modern space to thrive.
Education First: Over 1,000 classrooms rehabilitated and 30 new ones constructed, alongside the Smart School initiative at Government College, Ado-Ekiti. This confirms Oyebanji’s belief that the future of Ekiti lies in her children.
Power & Water Access: The Ilumoba–Ijesa–Isu to Ikole 33kV line has improved electricity supply, while 121 boreholes rehabilitated and 110 solar-powered water pumps for schools and health centres guarantee safe water across the state.
Institutional Strength: The ultra-modern Ministry of Works complex at Ajilosun stands as a symbol of order and efficiency in governance.
A GOVERNOR FOR ALL GENERATIONS
What makes Governor Oyebanji different is not only the projects but his human touch. He has been consistent in caring for party members, recognising the sacrifices of stakeholders, and extending hands of kindness to the aged men and women across Ekiti communities. To him, governance is not about titles, but about people.
The elderly testify to his support, the youths celebrate his opportunities, and party members describe him as a leader who never jokes with their welfare. Truly, Oyebanji embodies the Omoluabi ethos, the hallmark of integrity, respect, and service.
THE CONTINUITY AGENDA
At a time when politics can often be divisive, Oyebanji has united Ekiti under the banner of inclusiveness. His Shared Prosperity Agenda has proven that development can be transparent, fair, and beneficial to all regardless of political camp or social class.
The coming election is not just about another four years; it is about safeguarding the progress already recorded, protecting the investments already made, and ensuring continuity of governance that puts the people first.
THE PEOPLE’S MANDATE
From Efon to Ikere, from Ikole to Ise, the voice of Ekiti is one: Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji remains the best choice. He is not only the face of development but also the custodian of Ekiti values.
The delegates, the party faithful, and the good people of Ekiti must, therefore, unite once again to return this man of character, competence, and compassion. For Oyebanji, it is not about self, but service; not about power, but people; not about politics, but posterity.
