According to Oyebanji, Ekiti’s development journey cannot be adequately chronicled without recognising the Fayose’s role in infrastructure development, urban renewal and economic advancement.

He highlighted the construction of Ekiti’s first flyover, alongside the new Governor’s Office and a major market dedicated to telephone accessories, as some of the landmark projects that have remained significant in the state’s development history.

Oyebanji said Fayose’s distinctive leadership approach, strong grassroots appeal and ability to identify with the aspirations of ordinary citizens had sustained his political relevance long after leaving office.

Oyebanji also expressed appreciation for the former governor’s support and encouragement for his administration, despite their political differences, noting that Fayose had continued to offer advice and goodwill in the interest of Ekiti State.

He described Fayose as a politician who consistently speaks his mind and remains committed to the pursuit of a better Ekiti and Nigeria.

“On behalf of the Government and good people of Ekiti State, I congratulate this great leader of the people and wish him many happy returns of the day in good health, renewed strength and endless bliss”. Oyebanji said.
