Former Ekiti State Governor, Dr Kayode Fayemi, has said that the performance of Governor Biodun Oyebanji in the last three years justifies his presentation by the All Progressives Congress as the consensus candidate for next year’s governorship election. He recently hailed Oyebanji for prioritising infrastructure development throughout his tenure as Ekiti Governor.
Speaking at Ijelu-Ekiti during the inauguration of the newly constructed Itapa-Ijelu-Omu Road as part of activities marking the third anniversary of the Oyebanji administration, Fayemi revealed that Oyebanji has done well with road construction and rehabilitation projects.
According to him, his proactiveness as Governor has improved connectivity, boosted commerce and eased transportation across the state, and the whole of Ekiti is grateful to him for not disappointing with his performance.
Fayemi stated that the success of Oyebanji’s government is a validation of his belief in purposeful leadership.
“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.
The success of Oyebanji’s administration is a validation of his belief in purposeful leadership. The governor’s record of performance in three years has justified the decision of the APC and Ekiti people to present Oyebanji as the consensus candidate for the 2026 governorship election,” he said.
He further praised Oyebanji for building on the legacy of continuity in governance and displaying transformative leadership for many years.
Fayemi concluded by saying that the governor’s achievements thus far are the collective efforts of successive administrations that share a common vision for a prosperous Ekiti.
“Absolutely, he is my greatest achievement because I have my own imperfections, but those imperfections he has managed to either correct or reduce.
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 given to unnecessary politicking at the expense of the important issue of development.
I bless God for today, and I am so glad that we are able to finally complete this road. What is happening today speaks to what a people and a state will benefit if there is continuity in government,” he added.
