The deputy governor appreciated Ikere citizens for standing by the governor to deliver on his six-point agenda, which includes job creation and youth development, agriculture and rural development, arts and culture, and other thematic areas of development.

Mrs Afuye stated that Governor Oyebanji views the citizens of Ekiti as his employers and is committed to showing them unwavering respect through inclusive governance and the prudent management of public funds.

“You can see that this government has been fair to Ikere-Ekiti in road infrastructure and political appointments.

“Ikere-Ekiti people must reciprocate this gesture with massive votes in the 2026 governorship election.
