Achieving growth and progress as a State or people demands hard work, consistency, and the ability to face criticism head-on. To ascend to greater heights, we must first be acutely aware of our vision, our collective objectives, the current state of affairs, and, most importantly, our own identity.

Ekiti Kete is a State known for its remarkable character traits – embodying the spirit of Omoluabi, possessing knowledge, and relentlessly striving for success without compromising our values. Yet, recent events at the National Youth Games in Asaba, Delta State, have cast a shadow on our reputation. The comments and perceptions of the people have left us disheartened.

The government’s support and sponsorship of Ekiti participants in the National Youth Games were commendable. However, the General Manager of the sports council has been recalled, with the event which has led to negative stereotypes being associated with our State. This unfortunate turn of events is not new to Ekiti, as we have faced criticism in the past for our choices and perceived limitations.

Amid these challenges, there is a glimmer of hope. Our young representatives in various sports have shone brightly on the national stage, participating in almost 35 sports alongside over 4,500 athletes from across the nation. Their outstanding performances not only reflect positively on Ekiti but also emphasize the untapped potential within our State.

As we grapple with being labeled and our state’s reputation questioned, we must remember the vision of Governor Biodun Oyebanji, which emphasizes shared prosperity for all. In the words of Chief Obafemi Awolowo, “Great achievements take time; there is no overnight success.” We, as a state, must become intentional ambassadors of Ekiti, taking pride in ourselves and upholding the values of Omoluabi. Governor Oyebanji cannot singlehandedly shape our future; we must actively participate in this endeavour.

Chief Awolowo’s words remind us of the importance of respecting others’ viewpoints and cooperating for the greater good. By continually striving for excellence in our respective fields, we can contribute to Ekiti’s greatness.

Let us stand together to continually restore Ekiti’s reputation and embrace the spirit of shared prosperity. God bless Ekiti State as we work towards a brighter future with honour, pride, and commitment to our values.
