Snippets from the December 2017 Edition of #MeetYourGovernor


I greet you my people at home. A ku Odun, A Ku iyedun, emi wa a se pupo. I thank you all for the opportunity given me to serve you.

If I had the money, I would have visited every home as a father Christmas. Making me happy is the best way to impress my mother, little kids cherish this gesture, my reason for reaching out to about 100,000 kids in Ekiti is to make their mothers happy.


From Wednesday, my people in the stomach infrastructure office will be moving round town to give some of our people Xmas rice. All these are in a bid to make our people happy.

In my first term, I pay workers' salary on the 2nd of every month, I left #10.4 billion in the coffers of Ekiti when I left, I came back in 2014 to a deluge of indebtedness.

Between October 2011 and September 2013, Fayemi got #46b from the excess crude account. I have not borrowed a kobo in the name of Ekiti since I took over. Those lying that I borrowed #56b are only suffering from epilepsy.


I have received #4.717b as Paris Club refund, I will leave it to Labour leaders to share and decide what to do with the money.

I am not happy with the way Boko Haram is killing people up north but if money is being voted to fight Boko Haram, they should also give us money to fight poverty here. If Boko Haram is killing people in the north, hunger is killing my people here too, they should give us money to fight poverty, the money belongs to all of us.

Help me ask Fayemi what he did to improve Ikere when he was governor. Maintaining Oke Ayoba has become a challenge, the borehole is no longer working by virtue of complexity of the building. #210m is the amount needed for AC maintenance in the building, Ekiti doesn’t have that kind of money.


I monitor my projects day and night. I have not gotten a penny from FG for roads my government helped them rehabilitate. Ekiti has not benefitted anything from the APC led FG.

Fayemi is the minister for solid minerals, can't he tap any of our resources here? I have written to his office, we have about 41 solid minerals in Ekiti, I included the locations in that letter, he should do something in his name, Ekiti might not have this kind of opportunity in the next 30 years, Fayemi should do something in his name.

I engaged civil servants today, I will engage teachers and LG workers in due course.

Ekiti has not benefitted from the FG's school feeding programme.

When they come to beg for votes here, Ekiti will ask them what they have done to benefit Ekiti.

The only thing Buhari’s government have done in Nigeria is to aggressively loot Nigeria.

I have no doubt that Ekiti people will support and vote PDP on Saturday as councillors and chairmen. Our party will be giving flags to candidates on Thursday.

God speaks to me severally, he has also told me to gather people to worship him in this year's Xmas Carol, you are all invited.

By the grace of God, before the end of January, I will put smile on the lips of 10,000 Ekiti women.

Dear LG Chairmen, maintain the markets built by your predecessors.

I will call on all contractors in January 2017 to give us their bulldozers to construct some roads including the one that leads to Igimakodo area.

A woman can't marry two men at a time, those that are offended because I am not supporting their governorship aspiration should not be offended. God said it is Eleka, we can't disobey God. I urge Prince Adeyeye and others not to be offended.

We have financial challenges, it is difficult to employ applicants these days moreso that those working are not being paid regularly, the pensioners bill is daily rising too. All the same I will do my best to recruit the much I can do before leaving office.

May God bless you all abundantly, eeni fi Oju sunkun Omo, Ayo laafi sodun, Olorun a pese oun gbogbo ti a munuu wa dun IJN.

With or Without Defection, You Have Won - Fayose Tells Oyebanji in Ikere

Former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, on Tuesday stirred the political atmosphere in Ikere Ekiti as he openly declared that Governor Biodun Oyebanji has already secured victory in the coming elections, with or without fresh defections into the ruling party. Fayose spoke at the defection event of Engr. Henrich Akomolafe in Ikere Ekiti, where political leaders and stakeholders gathered in a show of unity. Addressing the Governor directly, Fayose said: “Your Excellency, anybody who wants to join this party to genuinely support you is welcome. I will personally encourage them especially those who will not give you a hard time. He, however, made it clear that the Governor’s political strength does not depend on defections. “Without people decamping, the Governor has won his election. Without people decamping, the President also has won his presidential election. We are only respecting ourselves.” Fayose stressed that the overriding interest of political actors in the s...

President Tinubu Affirms Oyebanji’s Second-Term Ticket in Birthday Message, Silences Speculations

December 21, 2025  President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has put to rest lingering beerpalour speculations around the Ekiti State governorship ticket as he openly affirmed that Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji has secured the All Progressives Congress (APC) nomination for a second term. The affirmation came on Saturday in a birthday message issued by the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, as Governor Oyebanji marked his 58th birthday. In the congratulatory message, President Tinubu not only celebrated Oyebanji’s personal milestone but also clearly stated that the Ekiti governor “has already secured the All Progressives Congress’ nomination to contest for a second term in office in 2026.” The presidential acknowledgment effectively douses the wave of rumours and political conjectures, making the rounds by followers of a disqualified aspirant over the APC ticket in Ekiti State. President Tinubu, in the message, reflected on Governor Oyebanji’s lo...
