The Ekiti deputy governor, Mrs. Monisade Afuye, says Governor Biodun Oyebanji is the best leader for the state. She wants him to keep leading until the year 2030. She says the state cannot risk trying a new person who has no experience. According to her, Governor Oyebanji has been tested and trusted.
She spoke at Aramoko and Ado Ekiti during the women’s support tour organized by the First Lady, Dr. Olayemi Oyebanji. The event was to ask women to support the governor.
Why Governor Oyebanji Should Stay
Mrs. Afuye told members of the APC that the governor will do even better if he is given a second term. She praised the people of Ekiti West and Ado Ekiti for supporting the governor and the First Lady, who are from their towns.
She said:
- Governor Oyebanji has worked very well in the last three years.
- If he gets another term, he will do more good work.
- He is from Ekiti West, and the First Lady is from Ado Ekiti. They are your own people.
She added that Ekiti needs a leader who has experience and fears God. She said Governor Oyebanji has these qualities.
Plans for Women in Politics
Mrs. Afuye promised that the government will give more positions to women in the future. She said women will have a bigger role in politics if Governor Oyebanji wins again. She asked women to help him get the party ticket in the primaries.
The Secretary to the State Government, Prof. Habibat Adubiaro, also praised the governor. She said he supports women in politics. Ekiti is the only state in Nigeria with six women in the House of Assembly. She promised that more women will get good positions if the governor stays in office.
