In a statement issued on Sunday, Olarewaju said, “Governor Oyebanji’s leadership is marked by humility, inclusiveness, and a strong commitment to the welfare of all citizens.
He has demonstrated that effective governance is not just about policies, but about touching the lives of the people positively.”
He noted that the governor’s administration has prioritized continuity, institutional strengthening, and collaborative governance, which he said have “helped sustain peace, enhanced public trust, and promoted steady development across Ekiti State.”
