OSV Commends Oyebanji Over Cabinet Readjustment.

The Oyebanji Street Vanguard (OSV), a grassroots mobilisation group for the re-election of Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji, has hailed the recent readjustment of the Ekiti State Executive Council, describing it as a bold step towards improved governance and better performance.

In a statement signed by its Convener, HC Ade, the group applauded the governor for what it termed a “strategic realignment” of his cabinet rather than a complete dissolution, expressing optimism that many of the affected officials could return to government in the near future.

The cabinet shake-up followed a statement issued by the Secretary to the State Government, Prof. Habibat Adubiaro, announcing the dissolution of the State Executive Council with immediate effect.

Governor Oyebanji had inaugurated the now-dissolved cabinet on August 7, 2023, comprising 19 commissioners and 14 special advisers. The carnival-like swearing-in ceremony was attended by past and present public office holders, traditional rulers, community leaders, and residents.

While thanking the outgoing members for their service, the governor wished them success in their future endeavours.

The OSV urged the relieved officials to sustain their contributions to state development by collaborating with like-minded groups in grassroots sensitisation and mobilisation for the continuity of good governance.

“This is not an end, but a reshuffle for greater results. We are confident that most of the affected members, if not all, will return in due course,” the statement read.
