EKITI POLITICS: WHY OYEBANJI DESERVES ANOTHER TERM — DELE PHILIPS

…The various interventionist policies and projects witnessed have proven that Governor prepared for governance

The Vice Chairman of Asiwaju Mandate Group in Ekiti State, Dele Philips has again justified the call for Governor Biodun Oyebanji to run for another term.

The All Progressives Congress leader who was speaking with newsmen in Lagos states that the Governor has not only proven that he prepared for governance but also convinced Ekiti people that he means well.

Dele Philips made reference to various infrastructural interventions as well as human and societal development being witnessed as a great encouragement that has rekindled people’s hope in democratic governance.

The former House of Representatives aspirant said the ongoing construction of Ijigbo-Okeyinmi Flyover bridge in the state capital will not only facilitate improved socio-economic and political development but also boost trade and tourism.

In his words, “for many of us who have had the privilege of traveling far and wide, we would agree that infrastructure plays significant roles in elevating the status of both humans and the society”.

“By the time the various projects embarked upon by Governor Biodun Oyebanji are fully completed, Ekiti would have become the envy of other states in terms of growth and development”.

“The Governor is not only building flyover bridge in Ado-Ekiti but also other parts of the state as the ring road project would ensure the much needed interconnectivity in Ekiti State”.

The Aramoko-Ekiti-born politician also commended Governor Biodun Oyebanji for restoring the hope of public and Civil servants in governance as salaries are paid regularly while pensioners have also had cause to appreciate the present administration.

“The Governor is not only paying salaries regularly but also clearing backlog of gratuities and this is giving hope to those in service that their labour would not be in vain”.

“You can imagine if previous administrations had been paying gratuities as Governor Oyebanji has been doing, the volume of debt would have been reduced drastically or cleared by now”.

The APC leader said the approach the Governor has given to tourism promotion has continued to put Ekiti on the global map as many now want to visit Ekiti State.

“In actual fact, by the time the ongoing construction of International Center for Events and Culture is completed, both National and International events would be attracted to the state”.

“You know what that means? There would be increase in Socio-economic activities and our people would be the better for it”.

“I can go on and on and begin to take about how Governor Oyebanji has made a difference. He has shown that he trained to become Governor, having been members of the state executive council in various capacities and even serving as Secretary to State Government”.

“This is a clarion call to our people in Ekiti to sustain the tempo of development as another term for Oyebanji would translate to more development and improved living for the citizenry”, Dele Philips added.
