Oyebanji Won't Abandon Any Town in His Devt. plans- Ekiti Deputy Governor. 

The Ekiti State Deputy Governor, Chief (Mrs) Monisade Afuye, has told the people of the state to be rest assured  that Governor Biodun Oyebanji will neither despise nor neglect any town in his development strides, saying holistic actions shall be taken to capture all interests across the state.

Mrs Afuye averred that the six pillars policy thrust of this administration was specifically  articulated to cater for all interests and not geared towards patronising a political or primordial interest.

The Deputy Governor said this in Ifisin Ekiti, in Ido/Osi Local Government area of the State on Saturday, during the 42nd Edition of Ifisin Day celebration.

Mrs Afuye , who saluted the citizens of the state for their supports, said the task of making Ekiti an epicentre of development is so dear to Governor Oyebanji, adding that the establishment of the Ministry of Rural Development further attested to how thirsty and desirous the government is to evenly spread development to all communities.

Of particular reference, Mrs Afuye showered praises on Ifisin people for their favourable dispositions to issues of peace and stability, culminating in the conceptualisation of the memorable event to celebrate the achievements of town in all aspects.

"Let me start by commending His Royal Majesty and the entire indigenes of this peace-loving  and development driven town for their unflagging supports for the administration of my wonderful boss, His Excellency, Governor Biodun Oyebanji. 

"You could all attest to the fact that Mr Governor is desirous of ensuring peace and development in all the towns across the 16 local government areas of our dear state. And this has begun to manifest, so we need your continued and dedicated support.

"That was why Mr Governor allowed all the local governments to enjoy high level of financial independence to be able to complement the state government in spreading development to all towns and villages in Ekiti. 

"Going by the quantum of works the councils and the state goverment have done in the last one year, it was evident that the vision of spreading shared prosperity to our people is gradually becoming realisable.

"Let me assure our people to be rest assured that Governor Oyebanji won't leave any town behind in his development focus. All the towns shall be captured for the dividends of democracy to be felt in every household".

Mrs Afuye  appealed to the town  to continue to support their  traditional ruler and members of his council to ensure peace reigns in their domain and to partner the government at all levels for the dream of making their town more  developed comes to actuality.

Addressing his subjects, the Onifisin of Ifisin Ekiti, Oba Michael Folarin Fabunmi, expressed readiness to coalesce efforts with government to bring development to the town.

Also, the traditional ruler  appealed to his subjects to play complementary roles to salvage the people from abject poverty, saying it would be unfair to rely on government alone. 

To demonstrate his love for his subjects, Oba Fabunmi, said his free gas distribution  was borne out of his glowing passion and God's direction that  he must always reach out to the vulnerables, saying this also demonstrates his contributions to alleviate poverty in the town.

 He promised to always forge a strong connection with government and  partner  Governor  Oyebanji-led administration to stabilise Ekiti and bring development to all towns and villages, including his own.
