The Convener of Ekiti PDP Progressives, Wale Ayeni, said that it was baffling that Oyebanji could not appoint commissioners or the Chief of Staff and also address other pressing needs of the state since assuming office in October last year.
Ayeni, who spoke in Ado Ekiti during a meeting of PDP leaders and members towards the repositioning of the opposition party in the state, said, “The All Progressives Congress administration is not offering tangible dividends of democracy to the people. Governance is beyond payment of salaries and patching of roads in only the state capital.
The PDP chieftain, who alleged that the Oyebanji government was under the grip of a godfather, said, “We know that the governor needs help; he would still need to come to us, and we will give him the help he needs. We need good governance, which is lacking in Ekiti for now. “If you are contesting election, you must have a definite agenda and programmes, but someone has been in office for eight months without a clear direction and focus. We need genuine development in Ekiti State. Except for the fact that the governor is trying to hide something, by now we should know the state’s debt and how much he inherited from the last administration.
“This is the first time in the history of the state that a governor will constitute a committee to start looking for people who will become commissioners; it is not done anywhere,” he said.
