In his 58th birthday felicitation to Ekiti State Governor, Mr. Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji on Sunday, President Bola Tinubu highlighted Oyebanji’s stewardship and commitment to the development of the state over the years, through his various positions, including as Secretary to the Committee on the Creation of Ekiti State.
Oyebanji was Special Adviser to the state’s first civilian governor, Otunba Adeniyi Adebayo, and later became his Chief of Staff.
He was Commissioner for Integration and Intergovernmental Affairs during the first-term administration of the immediate-past governor of the state, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, and later served as Secretary to the State Government.
Oyebanji was elected governor in 2022 and has already secured the ticket of the All Progressives Congress to contest for a second term in office in 2026.
According to a statement on Saturday by the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Mr. Bayo Onanuga, President Tinubu noted the state’s infrastructural development under Oyebanji’s watch, particularly his special focus on the agricultural and aviation sectors, among others.
He congratulated the governor on the completion of the Ekiti Agro-allied International Airport in Ado-Ekiti, the state capital, and the inauguration of flights.
President Tinubu wished the governor many more years and continued impactful governance in the state.
