My Administration Has Met Aspirations Of Ekiti People – Oyebanji

Ekiti State governor, Mr Biodun Oyebanji, has expressed his satisfaction with the level of achievements recorded across critical sectors, saying his administration had met the aspirations of the people of the state.

Governor Oyebanji added that his greatest joy and fulfillment as governor comes from the positive impact of his administration’s policies on the lives of the people, particularly through their happiness and tangible progress.

He stated this on Friday evening during the December edition of the monthly “Evening of Praise and Worship”, tagged “He is Worthy” at his residence in Ikogosi Ekiti.

In his short remarks at the service, Governor Oyebanji stated that the administration has consistently met the needs and aspirations of the people and commended residents for responding positively to policies and programmes initiated by his government.

He attributed the administration’s achievements to divine intervention in the affairs of the state, positing that he was divinely called to serve the people rather than amassing wealth.

According to him, the virtues of contentment, honesty and simplicity instilled in him by his parents had greatly guided his approach to governance and handling of critical state matters.

“I thank God for the grace to be the Governor of Ekiti State but apart from that, the office means nothing to me; that’s the truth. If it is not to serve the people, it makes no meaning to me. But it makes sense when I see people responding positively to government policies, when government policies bring joy and progress, that’s the only time the office makes meaning to me.

“I am always happy that at least what we are doing resonates well with the people and anytime I drive round the state and I see communities that didn’t have light for 50 years having light, I rejoice within myself and I thank God for it. When I see roads being constructed, when workers’ salaries are being paid, when pensioners get their gratuities, when I see our health infrastructure being upgraded, it gives me joy and I give God all the glory,” the governor stated.

Hundreds of worshippers, including the deputy governor, Chief Monisade Afuye; wife of the governor, Dr Olayemi Oyebanji; commissioners, council chairmen as well as community and Christian leaders, danced and sang praises to God at the worship session that lasted for two hours.
