A Member of the Ekiti State Waste Management Board, Mr. Wale Ade-Oba, has stepped down from his role, voicing criticism against Governor Biodun Oyebanji’s administration.
In a public statement, Ade-Oba shared his frustration over what he described as the government’s failure to deliver meaningful progress despite the availability of resources.
Ade-Oba, who had served in the board under Oyebanji’s government, said his decision to resign was not taken lightly.
According to him, he had spent time reflecting on the situation before concluding that he could no longer be a part of what he termed an unproductive system.
He further noted that the Oyebanji-led government had failed to address key issues affecting local government areas, including his own, Irepodun/Ifelodun.
The statement reads: “I am writing to share with you a decision that may surprise many. As you know, I’ve been serving as an appointee under the current administration led by Governor Biodun Oyebanji. However, after much reflection, I have decided to join forces with Engr. Kayode Ojo, is a leader with a vision for a better Ekiti.
“I believe the administration hasn’t delivered meaningful development to many local government areas, including mine, Irepodun/Ifelodun.
“Our party members are being overlooked and undervalued despite their hard work and dedication to the party’s success. Instead, opposition party members who did not contribute to our victory are being appointed to key positions, while our loyal supporters are being ignored.
“The governor is often out of the state, pursuing unclear agendas, and this absence is felt in the lack of productivity under the present administration. 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 government areas.
“I am 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 all to join me on this journey.”
