In a powerful display of political solidarity, Ekiti State Governor Biodun Oyebanji has emerged as a vocal supporter of President Bola Tinubu's economic reforms, urging residents to embrace change and maintain faith in the nation's progressive trajectory.

Speaking at an inter-faith thanksgiving event on Friday at the Obafemi Awolowo Civic Centre in Ado-Ekiti, Oyebanji delivered an inspiring message of hope and resilience. Despite acknowledging the initial challenges of recent economic policies, the governor emphasized that these reforms are already yielding positive results, including lower food prices, more affordable petrol, and improving economic indicators.

Oyebanji praised the federal administration's efforts, particularly highlighting currency stability and the potential for national growth. He credited his own administration's achievements to divine support and the unwavering backing of Ekiti residents, calling for continued unity and support of federal policies.

With the June 20 governorship election approaching, the governor made a passionate plea for peace before, during, and after the electoral process. "I am prepared for the election, and the APC will play by the rules," Oyebanji confidently stated, expressing optimism about securing another term based on his administration's record.

Religious leaders at the event reinforced the governor's message of unity and servant leadership. Reverend Emmanuel Aribasoye from the Christian Association of Nigeria emphasized faithfulness, while state Qareeb Missioner Abdul-Hakeem Afenifere called for gratitude, contentment, and mutual compassion.

Declaring 2026 a year of "unlimited opportunities," Oyebanji urged government officials to manage resources prudently and ensure that governance benefits all citizens. His message underscored a commitment to transparent, inclusive leadership that prioritizes the collective well-being of Ekiti State's residents.

As the state looks forward to upcoming elections and continued economic reforms, Governor Oyebanji's message of hope and pragmatic optimism offers a compelling vision of progress and national unity.
