Former Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose praised current Governor Biodun Oyebanji for his accomplishments, noting that Oyebanji governs with ease—a stark contrast to Fayose’s own tenure, which he described as “constant battles.” Fayose made these remarks while commissioning the Igbaraodo‑Ikogosi road, an event marking Oyebanji’s third year in office.
Fayose commended Oyebanji’s developmental strides, saying the governor has raised the bar and fostered unity among the people regardless of political affiliation. Although Fayose belongs to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), he said he is willing to acknowledge and celebrate Oyebanji’s achievements. Reflecting on his own time in office, Fayose described it as a period of relentless struggle: “I used my tenure as governor to fight battles. Morning, afternoon, and night, it was battle.” In contrast, he said Oyebanji is “riding and doing everything for Ekiti people in comfort.”
Addressing critics—particularly internet commentators from outside Ekiti—Fayose dismissed their negative remarks as irrelevant, arguing they only highlight the value of God’s presence in Oyebanji’s life. He emphasized that the governor’s accomplishments speak for themselves and warned that anyone who fails to support him will be left behind.
The commissioning of the Igbaraodo‑Ikogosi road stands as a significant milestone in Oyebanji’s administration, demonstrating his commitment to infrastructure development. Fayose’s praise underscores the importance of setting aside political differences to acknowledge progress and work toward the betterment of Ekiti State. As Oyebanji continues to implement policies and projects, the state will watch how his administration addresses ongoing challenges and builds on its achievements.
