The Ekiti PDP Media Alliance, led by Comr. Tunde Oke, has voiced strong discontent with the performance of Governor Biodun Oyebanji after two years in office. Sworn in on October 16, 2022, Oyebanji’s tenure has been marked by a perceived neglect of the pressing needs and aspirations of the Ekiti people, raising concerns among party members and constituents alike.
Since his emergence as governor, Oyebanji has been accused of prioritizing his re-election bid over the welfare of the citizens.
He argued that Governor Biodun Oyebanji has spent more time courting political leaders for support rather than addressing the urgent issues facing the state. This shift in focus has led to widespread frustration among residents, who feel their concerns are being sidelined.
The financial allocations received by Gov Oyebanji’s administration have been perceived to be significantly higher than those of his predecessors, yet the lack of visible progress in the state has raised eyebrows. Residents are questioning how such substantial funds have been utilized, especially when stark realities like poor infrastructure and inadequate public services persist.
Comr. Oke frowned at Gov. Oyebanji to showcase tangible achievements from his administration rather than relying on empty promises as he gears up for the 2026 election. The call for accountability has intensified, with many demanding that the governor provide evidence of how he has improved the lives of Ekiti citizens during his tenure.
In contrast to other states that have seen considerable development, Ekiti has been marked by deteriorating conditions. Issues such as bad roads, rising insecurity, and an increasing cost of living are pressing concerns that have been largely ignored, leading to growing discontent among the populace.
The Ekiti PDP Media Alliance has highlighted these failures, emphasizing that no amount of political maneuvering or “eye service” will shield the governor from defeat in the upcoming elections. They stress that the citizens of Ekiti are aware of their struggles and are ready to voice their dissatisfaction at the polls if meaningful changes are not implemented.
As the 2026 elections draw closer, the call for a change in leadership is becoming louder. Observers note that Oyebanji must take decisive action to address the needs of the people or risk being seen as out of touch with the realities on the ground.
With rising frustrations and unmet expectations, the future of Oyebanji’s administration hangs in the balance as Ekiti citizens await meaningful progress.
