Paul Alabi Drums Support for Oyebanji, Describes him as an Outstanding Ekitiman

By -



A former Deputy Governor of Ekiti State, Chief Paul Olatunde Alabi, has called on Ekiti people, regardless of  their parties, to support the candidate of the All Progressives Congress in June 18 election, Mr. Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji.

 

Receiving Oyebanji and other leaders of APC who visited him at his Ijesa-Isu Ekiti country home, on Monday, the former deputy Governor said having worked closely with Oyenbanji in the past and had taken time to follow his career trajectory over the years, he could vouch for him as a committed Ekitiman, who would take the state to the next level.

 

“In the spirit of the ‘thank you visit’ I want to commend members of APC for pushing forward a candidate that we can all rely on as a purposeful leader.  I have known Biodun Oyebanji for over 20 years and can confidently say that he is one of our best. He combines many things; quality education, good upbringing and youthfulness. To me, he is a bridge between the old and the young ones and he understands what it takes to govern Ekiti,”

 

Earlier, the leader of the team and  Chairman, Ekiti State Local Government Service Commission,  Chief Alaba Bejide, has described Chief Alabi as a committed Ekiti leader who do not believe in the state but has taken conscious effort to contribute his quota and develop the state.

 

“Beyond the fact that Chief Paul Alabi had served as deputy governor of our great state, it is on record that he is one of few Ekiti leaders who have made conscious efforts to grow the state economy through agric business. Today, Chief Alabi is one of the biggest investors in the Agricultural sector and he is an employer of labour,”

 

While appreciating Chief Alabi for his support for him and Ekiti State in general, Oyebanji said he considered himself lucky to have learnt under the feet of a disciplined leader like the elder statesman.

 

“Chief Alabi is not only a former boss to me but a father-figure who  had used his wealth of experience to  lift many of us intellectually and in the art of leadership. We came here today to appreciate him for his support and if by God’s grace I emerge as governor of Ekiti State, no doubt the fact that he will still remain our mentor,” Oyebanji stated.

The National Executive of a faction of the Association of Nigerian Authors (ANA) led by Mr. Camilus Ukah has lost its bid to challenge the jurisdiction of the Federal Capital Territory High Court, Abuja, in a pending originating summons against them and the faction it constituted for Abuja, under the Chairmanship of Mrs. Usman Halima. Progress in the case, which the existing Executive members of the Abuja Chapter of the association filed was stalled by a preliminary objection based on the false allegations that the executives of the Abuja Chapter under Halima Usman were not members of ANA.  In a ruling on the preliminary objection yesterday, the 7th July, 2022, the court dismissed the preliminary objection, thereby assuming full  jurisdiction to hear and determine whether or not the emergence of Mr. Ukah and his group as the National Executive Council of the association as claimed, as well as the emergence of the Abuja faction installed by the Ukah faction were in accordance with the c
