Governor Biodun Oyebanji Has Been A Worthy Successor – Kayode Fayemi

Former Governor of Ekiti State, Kayode Fayemi has come out to say that Governor Biodun Oyebanji is a worthy successor.

He recently had his say via a press statement, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, Biodun Oyebanji has shown an excellent performance record since he took over the state, and the manner with which he has been able to unite all leaders of diverse political interests in Ekiti has been exemplary.

Fayemi added that not all leaders are endowed with such skills and ingenuity to achieve that much within two years in office.

His words, “I am surprised with the way you have been uniting all the political leaders of Ekiti State. Not all leaders are blessed or endowed with such skill, not all of us. To me, it is good for the system, because we need peace and unity to drive development.

I am very proud of Governor Oyebanji. He is a soft and compassionate leader. All the road projects that we started like Itapa-Omu-Ijelu, GRA third extension, Ado-Ifaki and others were being attended to by his government. We thank God that continuity has become a blessing to us in Ekiti.

We had a bad experience before. When I left in 2014, all uncompleted road projects and others were abandoned. We later revisited them when I came back in 2018. That was why I campaigned on the mantra of continuity that we are now seeing the gains.

I am happy that the governor is ready to pay minimum wage. He is paying the salaries, pensions and gratuity of retirees. I am happy about this. The Hallmark of leadership is successive generation building.

Most interesting was that, the governor didn’t change the contractors handling the projects. Those who started them completed them and they did a good job, if not they would have been revoked. Everything went well, this is the hallmark of good leadership.”

WOW.
