A former Governorship candidate in Ekiti state, Mrs Kemi Elebute-Halle has commended Ekiti State Governor, Mr Biodun Oyebanji for building a legacy of good governance and excellent performance through the shared prosperity agenda of his administration.
Elebute-Halle, who stated this in Oye Ekiti during a tour of local government areas by the First Lady, Dr Olayemi Oyebanji also commended the effectiveness and workability of continuity agenda in the state, saying it has enhanced rapid development.
Speaking to Journalists in Oye Ekiti, Elebute-Halle stated that Governor Oyebanji’s stand on women inclusiveness in governance has also confirmed the importance the administration attached to women development and empowerment by adding value to their lives through the establishment of adire hub, widows’ support and other initiatives that have put Ekiti women in front burner of politics and governance in Nigeria.
She assured that women of the state are solidly behind Oyebanji administration and will do everything to ensure that he wins the next election 100 percent. She added that Governor Oyebanji is a good product that must be marketed for the world to see.
“At first, when I contested and people mentioned continuity, I was one of the people that stood against it. Continuity of what, but this continuity is working now. You see, BAO government is actually laying a very good legacy in government and in governance, he has stood out as Omoluabi of Ekiti state, irrespective of his party affiliation, we all know that APC is at the top of politics in Nigeria. But if you want to rank governors, even among APC governors, if there is anything above 100 percent, you give it to BAO.
“Our governor is improving infrastructure, carrying all political parties along irrespective of where you come from, some people call him ‘dobale governor’ and we have seen some governors who are arrogant, whom will you prefer among them, those who messed up traditional institution with no respect for Obas or community leaders.
“And I want to appreciate Mr President for giving us a governor well-deserved in Ekiti state, a governor that has combined humility with service, governor of the people.
“You know, a good market doesn’t need advertisement, but sometimes, a good market has to be put out to the world to see and not kept in the room.
” So, we that have seen what he has done in Ekiti state, we are saying we appreciate him, and most especially the gesture of the wife of the governor for counting the women worthy, inclusion of women have been what women all over the world have craved for and for Ekiti, there has always been inclusion of women in governance because BAO understands the importance of women in politics and governance.”
