Ekiti Waste Management Board member, Wale Alade-Oba, has said he chose to work for the realisation of Kayode Ojo’s governorship ambition because of his strong belief that he can transform the state if elected.
Alade-Oba is of the view that Governor Biodun Oyebanji’s administration has not met expectations.
“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 all to join me on this journey,” he said.
Alade-Oba, in a statement, said Ojo, an engineer and Pro-Chancellor of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN), has what it takes to bring development to Ekiti, given its huge allocations.
He stated: “I’m 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 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.”
The politician accused the Oyebanji Administration of underperformance despite increased allocations
Alade-Oba added: “I believe the administration hasn’t delivered meaningful development to many local government areas, 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 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. Ojo’s leadership style and vision for Ekiti resonate with me. I believe his administration would prioritise the needs of our people, recognise the efforts of our party members, and drive development across all local government areas.”
Alade-Ojo said he would not be intimidated by those who try to harass him over his realignment
