The All Progressives Congress (APC) Secretary for Ekiti South Senatorial District and Secretary of the Elders’ Forum, Hon. Afuye Oluwaseun John, has declared that there is no going back on the decision of the people of the district to fully support the continuity agenda of Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji (BAO) and Deputy Governor Monisade Christianah Afuye (MCA) till 2030.
Speaking in Ado Ekiti during a media chat with journalists, Hon. Afuye reaffirmed that Governor Oyebanji remains the unanimous and undebatable choice of Ekiti South, citing his track record, leadership style, and unwavering commitment to grassroots development as key reasons.
“Governor Oyebanji has proven himself to be a true son of the soil and a servant-leader who places people above politics. His achievements are visible in every part of Ekiti South. That is why we have resolved — no going back on BAO and MCA continuity till 2030,” Afuye stated.
He lauded the Governor’s inclusive and consultative approach to leadership, which he said has fostered unity across party lines and ensured fair distribution of development projects across the three senatorial zones of the state, particularly Ekiti South.
Afuye also showered praises on the Deputy Governor, Chief (Mrs) Monisade Afuye, for her critical role in maintaining political harmony and advancing the cause of unity within the senatorial district.
“We owe a lot to our amiable Deputy Governor. She has worked behind the scenes and in public to ensure unity, settle internal issues, and bridge political divides in our district. Her loyalty to the Governor and to the party is not only admirable but inspiring,” he said.
The APC chieftain also acknowledged the role of the Elders’ Forum Chairman, His Excellency, Surveyor Abiodun Aluko, commending his leadership wisdom and strategic engagement with stakeholders, which he described as vital to the political stability of Ekiti South.
In the same vein, Hon. Afuye hailed the steadfastness and loyalty of federal lawmakers from the zone — Senator Yemi Adaramodu (Ekiti South), Hon. Niyi Ojuawo (Ekiti South Federal Constituency II), and Hon. Femi Bamisile (Ekiti South Federal Constituency I).
“These are dependable leaders who have consistently stood by Governor Oyebanji and the APC in Ekiti South. Their unwavering loyalty, dedication to development, and pursuit of peace have played an integral role in the progress we are experiencing today,” Afuye noted.
He described the lawmakers as pillars of the party, emphasizing their commitment to the welfare of APC leaders, members, and the general public within the region.
“They are not absentee politicians. They are always around, always accessible, and always responsive to the needs of the people. Their efforts have not only complemented BAO’s development strides but have also further strengthened the continuity vision we believe in,” he added.
Afuye further acknowledged the contribution of the APC South Senatorial Chairman, Chief Akindele Akinboboye, whom he commended for his grassroots-oriented leadership style and efforts at mobilizing party structures across the zone.
“Chief Akinboboye has done a fantastic job. His leadership has united stakeholders from the LGA to the ward level. He has been instrumental in building momentum for BAO’s re-election bid,” he said.
He went on to thank traditional rulers, youth leaders, women mobilizers, and APC loyalists in Ekiti South for their steadfast support of the Governor's administration.
“Our people are not supporting BAO out of sentiment but because of tangible results. From infrastructure to education, from youth empowerment to agriculture, BAO has delivered. That’s why we say without hesitation: continuity till 2030 is non-negotiable,” he stated.
Hon. Afuye concluded by calling on APC stakeholders across the district to remain united and intensify their grassroots efforts ahead of the next election.
He described the continuity agenda as a collective mission for sustainable development and urged all party members to stay the course, noting that Ekiti South is ready to deliver resounding votes for BAO/MCA
