Irepodun/Ifelodun LG Boss Hails Oyebanji’s Leadership as Governor Clocks 57.

The Executive Chairman of Irepodun/Ifelodun Local Government Area, Hon. Oluwatuyi Oluwagbenga, popularly known as Chenco, has lauded the leadership style of Ekiti State Governor, Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji, as the governor marks his 57th birthday.

In a statement issued on Saturday morning, Oluwagbenga described Oyebanji as a visionary leader whose administration has brought remarkable progress to Ekiti State through innovative governance and people-centered policies.

His Excellency Gov Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji. 
Executive Governor of Ekiti State.

The council boss noted that Oyebanji’s achievements, particularly in agriculture, infrastructure, education, and power, are a testament to his commitment to transforming the state and improving the lives of the people.

“Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji is a quintessential leader whose impact has been felt across all sectors in Ekiti State. From his trailblazing efforts in youth-oriented agricultural schemes to the historic investments in power infrastructure and education, BAO’s administration has proven that governance can indeed be about the people,” Oluwagbenga said.

He also commended Oyebanji’s compassion for the vulnerable, including his strides in paying accumulated gratuities owed to pensioners and his inclusion policies for persons with disabilities.

“His Excellency’s welfarist approach to governance, such as offsetting outstanding gratuities and improving the career progression of teachers, reflects his genuine love and concern for the people. These are qualities that endear him to the masses,” Oluwagbenga added.

The chairman urged Ekiti residents to continue supporting Oyebanji’s administration as he strives to fulfill his vision of shared prosperity for the state.

“Governor Oyebanji has demonstrated exceptional leadership rooted in humility, accountability, and passion for excellence. As he celebrates this milestone, we reaffirm our commitment to working with him to achieve a better Ekiti State,” he said.

Governor Oyebanji, fondly called “BAO” or “Talk-and-Do Governor” by his supporters, has been widely celebrated for his transformative policies since assuming office in October 2022.

Born on December 21, 1967, in Ikogosi-Ekiti, Oyebanji has had an illustrious career in public service spanning over two decades. He holds a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Political Science and has served in various administrative capacities before becoming governor.

Oyebanji’s administration has been commended for initiatives such as the “Bring Back the Youth into Agriculture” programme and a groundbreaking energy independence plan aimed at enhancing power generation and distribution in the state.

As the governor celebrates his 57th birthday, accolades have continued to pour in from stakeholders, leaders, and residents across the state, with many describing him as a leader whose governance style is a model for others to emulate.
