Alleged underperformance: Ekiti Gov’s aide, Ade-Oba, resigns
A member of the Ekiti State Waste Management Board, Mr Wale Ade-Oba, has stepped down from office over the alleged underperformance of Governor Biodun Oyebanji.
The former aide stated that the decision for his resignation was reached following the lack of meaningful progress despite substantial budgetary allocations to the administration.
He switched his allegiance to the Pro-Chancellor of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, UNN, Mr Kayode Ojo, whom he described as a visionary leader with the capacity to transform Ekiti State.
The statement reads, “I am writing to share with you a decision that may surprise many. As you know, I’ve been serving as an appointee under the current administration led by Governor Biodun Oyebanji. However, after much reflection, I have decided to join forces with Engr. Kayode Ojo, is a leader with a vision for a better Ekiti.
“I believe the administration hasn’t delivered meaningful development to many local government areas, including mine, Irepodun/Ifelodun.
“Our party members are being overlooked and undervalued despite their hard work and dedication to the party’s success. Instead, opposition party members who did not contribute to our victory are being appointed to key positions, while our loyal supporters are being ignored.
“The governor is often out of the state, pursuing unclear agendas, and this absence is felt in the lack of productivity under the present administration. I believe it’s time for a change.
“Engr. Kayode Ojo’s leadership style and vision for Ekiti resonate with me. I believe his administration would prioritize the needs of our people, recognize the efforts of our party members, and drive development across all local government areas.
“I am making this change because I want to be part of a government that truly serves the people of Ekiti and values the contributions of its loyal supporters. I’m willing to work towards a brighter future for our state, and I invite you all to join me on this journey.”
