“The current Governor of Ekiti is our Governor, a friend, and a brother. He has visited me 13 times. I am neither his father nor was I involved in his election campaign; I supported Bisi Kolawole of the PDP.”
“A sitting Governor has visited me 13 times with his entourage, calling me his leader. Do you expect me to turn him away? “
“Let me use this opportunity to clarify something. I am not only a PDP member but also a former Governor of the state. I must respect both Governor Oyebanji, former Governor Fayemi, and Segun Oni. Does Governor Oyebanji’s visit to my house make me an APC member?”
“When I entered Ekiti yesterday, I received numerous messages urging me to criticize the Governor, claiming he has failed in his duties. I was puzzled by these messages. I decided to inspect some of the projects reportedly undertaken by his administration. I visited Fayose Market to see if the flyover bridge project had actually commenced, and I also checked Omisanjana Road and other road projects. “
“As a PDP member and an elder statesman, I cannot tell lies, and I must say that Governor Oyebanji is truly performing well. He is exceeding expectations. I see his good works and will not join the bandwagon to condemn them. When another election comes, I will stand with the PDP, and they will stand with their party.”
“During my time, I was not as gentle as Governor Oyebanji. But his gentleness is admirable, and I praise him for that.”
