OYEBANJI: WHEN INTEGRITY IS SINE QUA NON

OYEBANJI: WHEN INTEGRITY IS SINE QUA NON.

_By Segun Dipe_

 _People with good intentions make promises; people with integrity keep them._

-unknown.

_Sine qua non_ is a Latin phrase that means "without which not" or "an indispensable condition." It refers to a necessary condition or element that is required for something to happen, exist, or be true.

In other words, a sine qua non is a crucial factor that is essential for a particular outcome, event, or situation to occur. Without this factor, the outcome, event, or situation would not be possible.

Integrity, on the other hand, implies trustworthiness and incorruptibility to a high degree. People with integrity have nothing to hide and nothing to fear. Leaders who make integrity their watchword tend to embody trust and create the foundation for long-term success.

Ekiti is a very complex State to govern for the fact that limited resources are often thrown at limitless needs, with the people feeling entitled, it is quite tough to meet every need. It takes the citizens' trust for the governor to be acceptable. In a political landscape like ours in Nigeria, often marred by corruption and self-interest, Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji of Ekiti State, codenamed BAO, stands out as a shining example of what it means to be integrity-driven. His unwavering commitment to the betterment of his constituents has earned him a well-deserved reputation as one of the governors driven mostly by integrity in Nigeria today.

BAO's integrity is not an artificial one. He also backs it up with action, and he is consistent with it. In his words: "If I make a promise, I will surely see to its fulfillment." Meaning that he walks his talk, and does it so humbly that one would almost take it for granted as an auto-run venture. 

While declaring open a three-day retreat for the heads of local governments and local council development areas, LCDAs, of the state last June, Gov. Oyebanji urged them to borrow a leaf from his administration by placing high premium on professionalism, discipline, compassion, and teamwork in order to drive substantial improvement in local government administration in the State.

The Governor further said the only way for them to earn the trust of the people was such that they would discharge their civic responsibility with utmost sincerity, integrity, efficiency and professionalism. He encouraged them to uphold the highest ethical standards of honesty and transparency in all their dealings. 

Inconsistency is the antithesis of trust. A person commits the fallacy of inconsistency when he or she makes contradictory claims or when his actions are incongruous with his words. Oyebanji is very consistent in his dealings. He seems to have perfectly rehearsed and perfected his acts as if he knew he would someday mount the saddle. 

Oyebanji does not only govern with integrity, he keeps his ears to the ground to listen to the yearnings of the people. Like he would often tell his aides: "don't try to gag anyone, let them voice their feelings freely and let us endeavour to assuage them." 

It is two years now that Oyebanji canvassed, earned and mounted the saddle to govern Ekiti State. Right down the line, his passion to govern with integrity and prioritise the needs of the people has not waned a bit. He works relentlessly in and out of the box to meet every expectation. While traversing the length and breadth of the State passionately, asking the citizenry to trust him with their votes, Oyebanji made a lot of promises that not a few began to wonder if he was not over-promising. He indeed promised much. For every concern, he had an assurance to give. In general, he promised shared prosperity, that he won't rest on his oars until every home feels the positive impact of his governance. He promised to give every son and daughter of Ekiti a sense of belonging and make them to be proud of their State under his watch. He promised every community a touch of governance in terms of projects and appointments. 

Oyebanji promised the youths, he promised the aged, he promised the women, he promised the children, he promised the royal fathers and the subjects, he promised to make every religion count, he promised the investors, he promised the farmers, he promised the market women, he promised the artisans, he promised the transporters, he promised the teachers, he promised the students, he promised the workers, he promised the retirees, he promised the unemployed, he promised the out of school, he promised the politicians, he promised the apolitical., he promised the indigenes and non-indigenes alike. In his words, there would be something for everyone in his government, and no one would doubt where he stands as the governor on any matter. 

Today, two years into his government, it can be said of Gov Oyebanji that he has not failed any of his promisees. Give it to him that he prioritizes integrity, he regards it as the paragon of his values. He not only preaches it, he embodies it in his official and personal lives. Add to this his non-treacherous nature. He honours all his predecessors in office and continues to value the ladder he climbed to reach the top. 

By swashing about with qualities like honesty, transparency, accountability and by accommodating criticisms of all sorts, Oyebanji has given everyone a reason to trust his leadership and warm up to him. Even his critics today are of the view that the mantle of leadership should rest on him much longer. 

As a leader steeped in integrity, Oyebanji makes ethical decisions, even when grappling with formidable dilemmas like trying to meet conflicting needs. He weighs the ramification of every choice on a broad spectrum and considers the interest of every stakeholder, especially that of a larger community. 

Oyebanji is quick to accept blames. He takes ownership of his actions and tasks himself with shouldering responsibility for his choices. He does not give excuses, he gives results. And in doing so, he demonstrates an unwavering commitment to constant betterment. 

Two of Oyebanji's powerful assets as governor, aside humility and diligence, are diversity and inclusivity. He actively seeks out a multitude of perspectives, fosters an environment where all voices are respected. Such a "no-foe" approach to governance, fuels innovations and augments good decision making. 

Simply because Oyebanji puts his integrity forward, communicates transparently, makes ethical decision and projects shared vision for the people to flourish collectively, not a few have come to believe in his mission and they call for an encore of his tenure, albeit, an uninterrupted second term. The call keeps resonating and increasing by the day. 

Succinctly put, if the people must continue to believe in beautiful soul, kind heart and good energy, then, they must stick to BAO. Though he has spent just two of the first four-year term, a second four-year term is loading already and becoming a surer bet in Ekiti. So far, so good, it's a merited call from the people who are happy with the current situation in Ekiti, made possible by Oyebanji's sincerity of purpose.

AMBASSADOR DR. DARE OWOTOMOBI CONDEMNS CAMPAIGN OF CALUMNY AGAINST SENATE LEADER.

AMBASSADOR DR. DARE OWOTOMOBI CONDEMNS CAMPAIGN OF CALUMNY AGAINST SENATE LEADER.

The Global Chairman of Bola Ahmed Tinubu Solidarity Vanguard, BATSV, Ambassador Dr Dare Owotomobi, has condemned in strong terms the allegations making rounds against the Senate Leader, Distinguished Senator Opeyemi Bamidele, that he is working against the interest of the Yoruba Nation, as a figment of the imagination of people that don't mean well for Oduduwa.

He said that the Senate Leader has assiduously worked, alongside others in trenches during the era of the military junta, to ensure our hard earned democracy is achieved and therefore frowns at those elements trying to malign his character.

He pointed out that the distinguished Senator was one of those that endangered their lives during the dark days of the military by  giving publicity to the activities of NADECO, and therefore wonders why anyone would seek to denigrate him, after this hard earned victory.

The Global Chairman therefore states that the imposter and his gullible supporters that always believe hook, line and sinker any form of malicious manipulation and misinformation should know the difference between a leader of government business in the upper legislative chamber championing the Renewed Hope Agenda of the President, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, in which national unity is embedded, and an ethnic chauvinist seeking to only championing the interest of his people.

Recall that only recently, an amorphous group under a leader begging for recognition had embarked on a smear campaign to  malign the image of Senator Opeyemi Bamidele, the Senate Leader and Frontline supporter of President Tinubu. Dr Owotomobi said the group will not folds its arms and allow any faceless group malign the character of Sen. Bamidele, who has been a Member, Board of Trustees of Bola Ahmed Tinubu Solidarity Vanguard, BATSV, since 2021.

The Global Chairman therefore calls on the populace to disregard all insinuations against him, and consider such the ranting of some disgruntled elements.

Hon. Ojuawo Rufus Adeniyi, representing Ekiti South Federal Constituency 1, has praised Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji for appointing members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to various boards of parastatals in Ekiti State. 

In a statement, Hon. Ojuawo expressed his gratitude, stating, “I commend and thank Governor Oyebanji for appointing our party members to these positions. This will motivate our members to work tirelessly for the growth and development of our party, bringing fresh ideas to government business.” 

He urged the newly appointed members to see their roles as opportunities to serve the community and called on them to justify their positions by delivering exceptional results. 

Emphasizing unity, Hon. Ojuawo remarked, “While not everyone can hold appointments, we must work together as a team to support our dedicated Governor at all times.” 

The commendation highlights the importance of collaboration and dedication within the party as they aim for effective governance in Ekiti State.

Oyebanji splashes N47.8m gift on best teachers, berates exam fraud.

Oyebanji splashes N47.8m gift on best teachers, berates exam fraud.

…Ekiti teachers back Governor’s 2026 re-election. 

Ekiti State Governor, Mr Biodun Oyebanji on Saturday presented a total 47.8 million naira as gifts to teachers who emerged best in different categories during this year’s Teachers’ Day celebrations in Ado- Ekiti, the state capital. 

In a stern fashion, the Governor also stressed the resolve of his administration to stamp out examination malpractices in whatever form in order to maintain the integrity of the educational sector in the state. 

The teachers also used the opportunity of the World Teachers Day celebration, which took place at Ekito Parapo Pavilion, Ado Ekiti to pass a vote of confidence in the education policies of the Oyebanji administration and endorsed the Governor for a second term in office. 

They hinged their endorsement for the Governor on the need to further give him an unfettered opportunity to consolidate on the various programme and policies being implemented to revamp education in the state.

 

At the event with the theme: 'Valuing Teachers' Voices: Towards a New Social Contract for  Education”, Mrs Modupe Folayemi of Saint Francis' Primary school, Igbara Odo and Mr. Odunayo Oriloye of Notre Dame Grammar School, Usi Ekiti, received a whopping sum of N6 million each, as the best teachers in  primary and secondary schools respectively. 

Two teachers got the sum of N3 million each as first runners up, four received a sum of N1.5m each as second  runners up, while  26 teachers were rewarded with N200,000 each as consolation prize.

The venue of the event was turned into a carnival, as teachers across educational cadres, adorned in Aso Ebi, electrified the arena in celebration of the annual event and praised the Governor for what they described as his teacher-friendly  policies.

In his address at the event, the Chairman, Nigerian Union of Teachers(NUT), Ekiti State,  Com. Daodu Bamidele, announced that all the teachers are appreciative of the governor's positively impactful  educational policies and pronounced that  they are solidly backing his reelection in 2026.

Daodu commended Oyebanji for his positive contributions to strengthen the sector, urging  the government to initiate policies that will checkmate brain- drain in education and retain the best brains within the system.

To accomplish the foregoing, he sought immediate implementation of 65 years retirement for teachers, as obtainable in some states of the federation to give his colleagues job security and relevance in the scheme  of things. 

"All the teachers in our dear state  are appreciative of what the Governor has done. He has paid some of the arrears owed by the past administration and also initiated new ones. For the 2026 governorship election, we want to say that we are solidly behind him", he said. 

In his submission, his counterpart in Academic Staff Union of Secondary School( ASUSS), Com Sola Adigun, advocated that the secondary school teachers should be given the leeway to ascend grade level 17 for better career progression.

In his address, Governor Oyebanji, represented by the Deputy Governor, Chief (Mrs) Monisade Afuye, said his government has ensured expeditious and timely payment of salaries, deductions, and approval of multimillion naira worth of housing and vehicle loans to motivate the teachers and shore up their outputs. 

The governor, who described the teachers as the fortress of the education sector, promised to provide all the necessary incentives that could propel and buoy Ekiti's rating in educational advancement of the country.

Miffed by reported cases of examination malfeasance in the system, the Governor warned that his government would not tolerate examination malpractices under any guise, promising to wield the big stick against promoters of such sordid action in the state. 

"I want to sternly warn school managers at all levels that government has zero tolerance for examination malpractice and investigations are  ongoing to look into some of the allegations of connivance in the promotion of examination malpractice in some schools which led to seizure of SSCE certificate examination.

"I haven't sent any school manager to impress me with bogus result to prove anything to me. We are not in phony competition to earn fake glory that is cancerous to the future of our young ones. 

"Ekiti  has a great name as a land of scholarship, learning and integrity, we will not tolerate any unwholesome and unethical practice from ant school or staff that could tarnish this glorious reputation", Oyebanji stated.

On efforts being devised to fortify the sector, Oyebanji said besides payment of salaries and other emoluments, that teachers were being trained locally and internationally to sharpen their mental horizons and increase  propensity for better delivery. 

The governor applauded the Nigerian Union of Teachers, Academic Staff Union of  Secondary Schools, All Nigeria Confederation of Principals of Secondary schools and Association of Public Schools Head teachers of Nigeria for their partnership, professionalism and cooperation at all times. 

"It is on record that our administration has initiated car and housing loans for primary school teachers, ensured distribution of laptop computers to public secondary schools, colleges and special schools to mitigate the consequential personnel gap and regular disbursement of car/housing  loans to eligible secondary school teachers, among others.

"Through the adolescent Girls Initiative for Learning and Empowerment, a World Bank assured project, many of our public schools have been refurbished and perimeter fences have been constructed in line with our safe school initiative. 

"We have also fulfilled our promise to address the issue of career progression for graduate teachers in primary schools by approving their advancement from grade level 15 to 16, so as to bring them to a parallel peak with their counterparts in the Civil Service". He added.

Oyebanji’s Unfolding Youth-Propelled Agricultural Revolution In Ekiti.

Oyebanji’s Unfolding Youth-Propelled Agricultural Revolution In Ekiti.

 By Odunayo Ogunmola.

A silent revolution is presently ongoing in Ekiti State under the watch of Governor Biodun Oyebanji. It is not a revolution of bullets, violence, street protests or use of force to achieve some ends.

It is a revolution of ideas, a revolution of vision, a revolution of dream, a revolution of a paradigm shift that holds the promise for a prosperous future in the state. It is an economic revolution capable of launching Ekiti into the club of self sufficient states in Nigeria.

The Governor is spearheading an agricultural revolution which has the youths as the catalysts of returning back to land to ensure food security, food sufficiency, making the state a renowned hub of agribusiness via its multiple value chains.

This laudable agricultural masterclass that has the youths at the centre portends a win-win situation in Ekiti State. A win for a visionary government led by Oyebanji, a win for the youths involved in the scheme, a win for agriculture as a sector and a win for the people of the state.

From time immemorial, agriculture was the major occupation and mainstay in Ekiti land, a prominent component of the precolonial Nigeria, colonial Nigeria, the old Western Region, the old Western State, the old Ondo State down to the present-day Ekiti State.

But a combination of declining interest in agriculture, limited yields from subsistence farming, overdependence on oil as the major revenue earner in the country and the allocation from the Federation Account by the states of the federation, among others had adverse effects on the fortunes of agriculture in the state.

The narrative is changing with the enlistment of 930 young men and women in a scheme tagged "BRING BACK THE YOUTHS INTO AGRICULTURE" which the Oyebanji Administration is carrying out in collaboration with a private investor in agriculture sector, YSJ Farms Limited.

Under the scheme, the Oyebanji Administration provides land to the young farmers, assists them with land clearing and seedlings as well as agricultural extension services among others. It also has an arrangement to buy their products for storage purposes thereby eliminating wastage and ensuring steady patronage.

Before the Bring Back the Youths Into Agriculture programme comes on stream, the Oyebanji Administration had done much work on the Special Agriculture Processing Zones located in Oke Ako and Iyemero. 

The government also ensured a massive clearing of land across the state to facilitate large scale farming and spent fortunes in procuring seedlings, agro materials and hardware. Through the World Bank-assisted RAAMP, roads leading to major farms, farmsteads and produce hubs are receiving attention.

The Bring Back the Youths Into Agriculture programme appears to be the game changer and the icing on the cake and it is expected to solve the problems of apathy to agriculture, youth unemployment, food insufficiency, abandonment and underutilization of farm settlements in the state established under the administration of the late former Premier of the old Western Region, Chief Obafemi Awolowo.

The Governor denied himself of comfort inside the cozy Governor's Office and the iconic hilltop Ayoba Villa (his official residence) on October 1, a public holiday to mark the nation's 64th independence anniversary and the 28th anniversary of the creation of Ekiti State. He hit the road to pay visits to the three cluster zones where the youths are working to make the vision a reality.

The three locations visited by the Governor are the Emure-Eporo cluster which is dedicated to maize and cassava cultivation; the Ikere cluster which is dedicated to yam and melon cultivation and the Aramoko-Erio cluster which is dedicated mainly to horticultural farming. 

A visit to the three cluster areas revealed a massive cultivation on wide expanse of land. Everybody on the Governor's entourage including this writer could not help but marvel on the extent of work done by the participants in the scheme. Heads will definitely turn and mouths will be agape by the time their yields will be ready for the markets.

The visit of the state's number one citizen served as a morale booster for the youths who were all excited to receive Mr. Governor, himself a renowned farmer, in their midst. His gesture of leaving his comfort zone and defying the difficult terrain to reach them spoke volumes and would continue to resonate with them for a long time to come.

Apart from interacting with the youths as a group in all the three cluster areas visited, the Governor also stopped at intervals and had one-on-one discussion with some of them asking about their challenges and immediate needs to which he drew the attention of the Commissioner for Agriculture and Food Security, Mr. Ebenezer Boluwade, for prompt action.

The surprise gubernatorial visit brought some goodies that would soon become reality. These include an assurance on the commencement of ultramodern dormitories in all the three cluster zones, provision of security at the locations and the environs to allow the youths concentrate on their work, provision of vehicles and motorcycles as means of mobility for the participants.

The Governor restated his determination to invest hugely in agriculture, as a form of empowerment for the youths, to ensure food security and to drive industrialization adding that "revamping the old farm settlement strategy of the late Chief Awolowo was the only way to ensure the young farmers stay on the farms and maximize government’s support for the scheme."

He described agriculture as a lucrative business noting that farmers are among the richest set of people in developed economies pointing out that the participating youths in particular and the state in general would reap bountiful harvest in agribusiness in the long run.

With this huge and bold step taken by Governor Oyebanji, agriculture will no longer be a pastime or mere vocation but is on the path to becoming a big business as witnessed in developed economies. It is sure that the success of the very first set of youths in the scheme will attract more of their counterparts to follow suit.

The seed has been sown, it will soon germinate. This agricultural revolution is another masterstroke from the stable of Governor Oyebanji to ensure shared prosperity in Ekiti and to make the state a destination of choice for agribusiness and a famed food basket in Nigeria.

Oyebanji has improved Ekiti Women’s fortune, Says First Lady.

Oyebanji has improved Ekiti Women’s fortune, Says First Lady.

Wife of Ekiti State Governor, Dr Olayemi Oyebanji has lauded Governor Biodun Oyebanji for his transformative, impactful and women- oriented programmes and policies in the first two years of his administration. This, she said were done through various interventions and empowerment as well as appointments of women into key government positions. 

Dr Oyebanji, who stated these while addressing women during the grand-finale of her local government tour and meetings with women in Ekiti West and Ado Local Government areas of the state on Friday, said Governor Oyebanji has brought a remarkable improvement in the fortunes of women in the state. 

Dr Oyebanji, who addressed the crowd of women at the two venues, gave a graphical details of how the Governor’s policies and programmes have significantly improved the economic and social standing of women across the state. She maintained that the BAO administration’s focus on women and youth empowerment are key components of the Governor’s broader developmental agenda.

The First Lady opined that the Governor’s commitment to women’s empowerment has made the state the most gender-friendly in Nigeria, stressing that Ekiti can boast of the highest female representation in government across the country, thereby positioning the state as a leader in gender inclusiveness.

 

Describing the sterling achievements and female representation in government of the Governor as unprecedented in the annals of the history of the state, Dr Oyebanji reaffirmed that the policy has set the state apart as a beacon of hope for gender equality in the country. She added that the the state has witnessed tremendous numbers of transformative programs aimed at enhancing the financial independence of women and providing them with the tools to thrive in today’s challenging environment. 

 

Expressing pride in her husband’s government achievement in the last two years, the First Lady pointed out that the Governor’s success in promoting gender equality is proof that effective governance and sustainable development is a key factor that drives acceptability by the people.

While expressing her deepest gratitude to the women for their support for her husband’s administration in the last two years, Dr Oyebanji assured them that she will continue to invest in the well-being of women, advocate for better policies and programes that target widows, youths and women, with the goal of fostering economic independence and reducing poverty level across the state.

She urged the women to take full advantage of the opportunities created by the administration, noting that Ekiti is now a better place for women to thrive, succeed and lead.

“I have been to all the 16 local governments in the last two weeks. this is the 16th one, and in fairness what I have received most are accolades from the women, appreciation galore, that within the space of 2 years of Biodun Abayomi led-administration, the lives of women have been tremendously touched. I also listened to gaps, areas where they still want us to make impact. 

"From the feedback I got from the women in the course of this tour, I discovered that some of the empowerment programmes and  projects that should get to the grassroots at times in some local government are hijacked mid-way. That's one thing that seems to cut across all the local government. For instance, If I want to empower 20 widows per local government, I discovered that many of the widows are not the real indigent widows that I'm targeting. So, with this, I will go back to the drawing board, I will review and see that the empowerment programme better the lives for our woman in Ekiti.

“Not that Ekiti is ranked amongst the first, Ekiti is actually the number one. The Secretary to the State Government and Deputy Speaker who happen to be women are not here, they are in a conference in Abuja where Ekiti is being honored as a state in Nigeria that gives room to Women Inclusion in political offices. 

"Ekiti state is the first state in Nigeria. For instance, in Ekiti state we have a deputy Governor who is a woman, the SSG, the Head of Service, Accountant General, Auditor General, six women in the House of Assembly. We have 33 councilors that are women, we have 15 women that are Vice Chairmen and we have seven women that are chairmen. I can continue counting. Ekiti is ranked number 1, other state will follow. 

“So, Ekiti state is doing fine in terms of giving women space, giving women opportunity to participate in governance, that's what Governor Biodun Oyebanji has done.” The Fisrt Lady asserted.

In her remarks, the Deputy Governor, Chief (Mrs) Monisade Afuye praised the Governor for his numerous interventions aimed at empowering women economically, socially, and politically.

According to her the Governor has demonstrated that women’s inclusion in governance and decision-making is not only a priority but a fundamental part of the state’s development strategy. 

Reaffirming her commitment to supporting the Governor’s vision for a more equitable and prosperous Ekiti, the Deputy Governor expressed confidence that Governor Oyebanji’s policies would continue to open doors for women, ensuring they are well-represented in every sector of the society.
