President Bola Tinubu has cautioned political stakeholders in Ekiti State against making early declarations of intent to succeed Governor Biodun Oyebanji in 2030. According to Ripples Nigeria, the President warned that premature succession campaigns could distract the governor and undermine effective governance.
The warning was issued during a special thanksgiving service held Sunday at the Anglican Cathedral of Emmanuel in Ado Ekiti to mark the beginning of Oyebanji's second term. Represented by Senate Leader Senator Opeyemi Bamidele, Tinubu urged the political class to prioritize the collective interest of the state and support the current administration rather than focusing on individual ambitions.
Oyebanji and Deputy Governor Monisade Afuye were sworn in for their second term on Friday at the Ekitiparapo Pavilion. Following his administration's initial investments in infrastructure, Oyebanji pledged to shift focus toward economic prosperity, job creation, and industrialization.
