Oyebanji: My Partnership with Federal Lawmakers Yielding Dividends for Citizens

Gbenga Sodeinde in Ado Ekiti

The Ekiti State Governor, Biodun Oyebanji, has disclosed that the partnership he established with nine members of the National Assembly from the state, was yielding the right dividends that were turning around the lives of the citizens.
Oyebanji said the synergy, which he branded as highly beneficial, was largely responsible for the upsurge  in federal projects accruing to the state and massive appointments of Ekiti indigenes under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s leadership.

The governor spoke in Ikosu Ekiti, Moba Local Government Area, on Saturday, during an empowerment programme, organised by a member of the House of Representatives, Hon. Akinlayo Kolawole, for the people of Ekiti North Federal Constituency II.
Materials distributed included hundreds of motorcycles, fridges, generating sets, dryers, roofing sheets, knapsack spraying machines, sowing machines, grinding machines, multimillion naira cash gifts to widows, traditional chiefs, among others.

Oyebanji, represented by the Deputy Governor, Chief (Mrs) Monisade Afuye, applauded the federal lawmakers for their loyalty to the electorate, and for establishing a synergy that is upscaling dividends, in terms of projects and human capital development.

He eulogised Kolawole for his generosity and sense of patronage, saying he has demonstrated commitment to human capital development as a pillar of his administration, with the quantum of materials distributed to the citizens.

In clear demonstration of generosity to uplift his  constituents out of poverty, Kolawole distributed a sum of N15 million to over 300 widows and other vulnerable citizens in the three Local governments of Ido/Osi, Ilejemeje and Moba.

The lawmaker stressed the need for the federal lawmakers to be in one and invincible accord with Oyebanji to complement the efforts being intensified to abate the indices of poverty and neglect in the state.
