Governor <\/span><\/span>Biodun<\/span><\/span> Abayomi<\/span><\/span> Oyebanji<\/span><\/span> of <\/span><\/span>Ekiti<\/span><\/span> State<\/span><\/span> is privileged to have inherited a stable <\/span><\/span>platform. Were it to have been otherwise<\/span><\/span>,<\/span><\/span> one doubts if <\/span><\/span>he would<\/span><\/span> by now <\/span><\/span>have finished n<\/span><\/span>egotiating the <\/span><\/span>trouble<\/span><\/span> zones<\/span><\/span>,<\/span><\/span> not to talk<\/span><\/span> about development in the state. Not just that, the governor also has a thriving <\/span><\/span>centre<\/span><\/span> to his advantage. So, whichever way it goes, it\u2019s a good step, which brings to the fore the need for him to engage the best of <\/span><\/span>brains<\/span><\/span> – which, of course,<\/span><\/span> Ekiti<\/span><\/span> State <\/span><\/span>has not been short of – and apply <\/span><\/span>same<\/span><\/span> towards development.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Without doubt<\/span><\/span>,<\/span><\/span> t<\/span><\/span>he <\/span><\/span>quietness<\/span><\/span> or stillness that\u2019s being experience<\/span><\/span>d in <\/span><\/span>\u2018<\/span><\/span>The <\/span><\/span>Fountain of Knowledge\u2019<\/span><\/span> in the p<\/span><\/span>ast one year of the <\/span><\/span>Oyebanji<\/span><\/span>-led administration<\/span><\/span> ha<\/span><\/span>s <\/span><\/span>been <\/span><\/span>a blessing in disguise,<\/span><\/span> for it has <\/span><\/span>give<\/span><\/span>n<\/span><\/span> him <\/span><\/span>the<\/span><\/span> ample chance to plan and execute his <\/span><\/span>strategic <\/span><\/span>vision<\/span><\/span> for de<\/span><\/span>velopment<\/span><\/span>, <\/span><\/span>more so as <\/span><\/span>Ekitis<\/span><\/span> are <\/span><\/span>actually <\/span><\/span>expecting a lot from him.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Discreet inquiries have revealed that the governor has done so much within so short a time.<\/span><\/span> This <\/span><\/span>man with a good heart has not only felt where the shoe<\/span><\/span>s pinched<\/span><\/span> the people<\/span><\/span>\u2019s feet but also responded<\/span><\/span> to<\/span><\/span> them<\/span><\/span> positively, a situation that has set him <\/span><\/span>apart<\/span><\/span> as a <\/span><\/span>leade<\/span><\/span>r made <\/span><\/span>ready<\/span><\/span> for his people\u2019s needs<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span> Immediately <\/span><\/span>h<\/span><\/span>e assumed office, <\/span><\/span>BAO<\/span><\/span>,<\/span><\/span> as <\/span><\/span>Oyebanji<\/span><\/span> is fondly called<\/span><\/span>, hit the ground running, <\/span><\/span>which showed that he\u2019s not just there to experiment but one who has a sophisticated<\/span><\/span> understanding of the world around him.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Well, w<\/span><\/span>hile <\/span><\/span>I<\/span><\/span> intend to interrogate some of the exploits of this unassuming achiever<\/span><\/span> in the coming days, for<\/span><\/span> the governor<\/span><\/span>,<\/span><\/span> this mustn\u2019t be the end. T<\/span><\/span>hankfully<\/span><\/span>,<\/span><\/span> BAO still has time on his side. This good addition to Nigeria\u2019s rich history <\/span><\/span>still has a long way to go towards creating a new rea<\/span><\/span>lity <\/span><\/span>for <\/span><\/span>Ekiti<\/span><\/span> State <\/span><\/span>in particular and <\/span><\/span>Nigeria in general. So, he must<\/span><\/span> fight through all the chances in this<\/span><\/span> world with a<\/span><\/span> view to<\/span><\/span> giving<\/span><\/span> the p<\/span><\/span>eople the dividends of democracy. <\/span><\/span>This is no era for excuses at all!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

As Governor <\/span><\/span>Oyebanji<\/span><\/span> clocks one year in office on October 16<\/span><\/span>,<\/span><\/span>2023<\/span><\/span>,<\/span><\/span> Nigerians can only pray for him to do more!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

May the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world, grant us peace in Nigeria!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
