The Oyebanji Street Vanguard (OSV), a grassroots mobilisation group for the re-election of Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji of Ekiti, has commended the governor for what it described as a bold step in readjusting and replacing members of the State Executive Council.

In a statement signed by its convener, Mr HC Ade, the group said the decision would enhance better performance and results in governance.

It recalled that the Secretary to the State Government, Prof. Habibat Adubiaro, had on Monday announced the dissolution of the cabinet with immediate effect.

Governor Oyebanji had inaugurated the now-dissolved council on August 7, 2023, with 19 commissioners and 14 special advisers sworn in at a colourful ceremony attended by political leaders, traditional rulers and members of the public.

While relieving the affected members of their duties, the governor thanked them for their service and wished them well in future endeavours.

The OSV also appreciated the outgoing appointees for their contributions and urged them to continue supporting the mobilisation and sensitisation of voters, street to street, for the stability of democracy and continuity of good governance in the state.

The group stressed that the exercise was not a complete dissolution, but a readjustment, expressing optimism that most of the affected officials would be reappointed in the near future.
