The Social Democratic Party has come out to blast the performance of Biodun Oyebanji as Ekiti State Governor.
The party recently listed its expectations ahead of the 2026 governorship election in the state, and Nigerians have been reacting.
Speaking via a press statement, SDP State Chairman, Bamikole Ayodele, revealed that the governor has performed poorly in the areas of infrastructure, agriculture, security, jobs and tourism.
He added that it will be very easy for the SDP to defeat the APC in the 2026 election because the people have been clamouring for opposition parties to step up in a bid to rescue the state from its weak leadership.
His words, “Governor Oyebanji should desist from playing politics with the resources of the state. He is not giving us the best. His election promises are not being fulfilled. Look at the state of infrastructure, there is nothing that can be pointed to as achievements of the present administration in the state.
We need a person who will bring innovation into this system. The system is not running well in the state under Oyebanji, so we have to do something. Our governor has to do something. The governor gets huge allocations and spends them on things that are not necessary. Oyebanji has not done well in the area of agriculture. Ekiti is an agrarian state with fertile land.
What stops the governor from ensuring there is farm settlement with all necessary facilities like good internet network, electricity, good road network, water, where the young graduates can be gainfully employed in each of the 16 local governments?
The governor should also brace up in the area of security. The roads and farms should be made safe and devoid of those lurking around for kidnapping and other crimes. The government should assure residents that the state is safe for every individual. We should be able to walk freely in any part of the state.”
WOW.
