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.

APC Governorship Aspirant, Atinuke Omolayo, Participates in Delegate Congress in Emure

October 25, 2025 A former governorship aspirant of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekiti State, Mrs. Atinuke Oluremi Omolayo (née Okeya), who was duly screened and cleared by the party’s National Screening Committee, has demonstrated uncommon party loyalty by stepping down for Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji and actively participating in the delegate congress held today in her Eporo Ward, Emure Local Government Area. Mrs. Omolayo, who was warmly received with an Ọ̀wọ̀ song by jubilant party members, expressed appreciation to her ward for the support they gave her when she initially declared her intention to contest for governor. She explained that her decision to step down for Governor Oyebanji was informed by his wide acceptability across the state, sterling performances in office, and commitment to Ekiti’s growth and development, which she described as derivatives of continuity. While addressing the crowd, Mrs. Omolayo urged party members in Eporo Ward...

Ignore Rumours: APC Confirms Governor Oyebanji’s Name to Be Submitted to INEC on January 16, 2026

…As APC Spokesperson Reiterates Official Candidate List Ahead of Publication The APC Integrity Caucus has moved to dismiss what it describes as a reckless and senseless rumour being circulated by a few individuals posing as party members. The gossip, they said, claims that the party “does not intend to submit” the name of Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). In a statement released on Thursday, November 14, 2025, the caucus said such claims are baseless and should be ignored by every well-meaning member of the public. “Since the successful conduct of our governorship primary on October 27 and the ratification by authorised delegates on October 29, some mischief makers have been whispering that the party will not submit Governor Oyebanji’s name to INEC. This is completely false,” the statement read. The caucus emphasized that the APC operates according to a clearly defined timetable, which specifies the dates for submissio...
