Oyebanji reacts as INEC declares him winner of Ekiti guber election

Ekiti State Governor Biodun Oyebanji said his re-election for a second term is a renewed call to serve.

The governor spoke shortly after he was declared the winner of Saturday’s governorship election.

Oyebanji thanked the people of the state for trusting his administration, adding that winning the election means he now has even greater responsibilities.

Oyebanji said he understands the expectations that come with his new mandate and assured residents that his administration will stay committed to good governance and the welfare of the people.

He said, “I have a proper understanding of the responsibility that this victory has placed on my shoulders. It is a responsibility of service, service to the people of Ekiti State.

“I want to assure our people that we will continue to serve them with courage, compassion, humility and the fear of God.”

Regarding his plans for a second term, Oyebanji said his administration would continue implementing the state’s development agenda.

He said the government already had a clearly defined roadmap for growth and progress but would remain open to new ideas and emerging priorities.

“We have a development guide, and we will continue to faithfully implement that plan. At the same time, if there are new issues or areas that require attention, we will review them and ensure they are accommodated.

“Our focus remains the comprehensive implementation of our development agenda for the benefit of all Ekiti people,” he said.
