Why I Dumped BAO For Engineer Kayode Ojo

By Wale Alade Oba

To the good people of Ekiti,

I am writing to share with you a personal decision that may surprise many. As you know, I’ve been serving as an appointee under the current administration led by Governor Biodun Oyebanji (BAO). However, after much reflection, I’ve decided to join forces with Engr. Kayode Ojo, a leader with a vision for a better Ekiti.

Despite the highest allocation in the history of Ekiti governors, I believe the administration hasn’t delivered meaningful development to many local governments, including mine, Irepodun/Ifelodun. The governor’s office seems to revolve around just a few individuals, leaving many commissioners without meaningful assignments.

Our party members are being overlooked and undervalued, despite their hard work and dedication to the party’s success. Instead, opposition party members who didn’t contribute to our victory are being appointed to key positions, while our loyal supporters are being ignored.

The governor is often out of state, pursuing unclear agendas, and this absence is felt in the lack of productivity in the governor’s office. I believe it’s time for a change.

Engr. Kayode Ojo’s leadership style and vision for Ekiti resonate with me. I believe his administration would prioritize the needs of our people, recognize the efforts of our party members, and drive development across all local governments.

I’m making this change because I want to be part of a government that truly serves the people of Ekiti and values the contributions of its loyal supporters. I’m willing to work towards a brighter future for our state, and I invite you to join me on this journey.

Sincerely,

Hon. Wale Alade Oba
