Oni, others laud Oyebanji on uniting Ekiti leaders

• Seek upgrade of Ifaki hospital to specialist centre
• Rep tasks gov on serving amid endorsement for second term

Former Governor of Ekiti State, Segun Oni, has expressed satisfaction with the level of peaceful coexistence among the various people of the state Governor Biodun Oyebanji.

Oni, who gave the commendation, yesterday, when he led a delegation of leaders from Ifaki-Ekiti to visit the governor in his office, lauded Oyebanji for being a united force among the various political leaders of the state.

The former governor, who also commended the governor on the work going on at Ado-Ifaki Road, urged Oyebanji to consider the Ifaki-Esure Road.

In his response, the governor urged Ekiti residents to make proper use of government hospitals in their communities for their healthcare needs and justify government’s huge spending on the renovation and equipment of the state hospitals.

He said his government is currently renovating nine general hospitals with state-of-the-art equipment and manpower to allow as many people as possible to have access to quality and affordable healthcare at the government hospitals.

Also, the governor said the request for an upgrade of the Ifaki General Hospital to a specialist hospital would be predicated on the level of patronage.

RELATEDLY, a member of the House of Representatives, Fatoba Olusola, has urged Oyebanji not to relent in serving the people.

Fatoba, who spoke with journalists in Ado-Ekiti, yesterday, after the All Progressives Congress (APC) stakeholders of Ekiti Central Senatorial District endorsed the governor for second term, implored Oyebanji to continue with his good works, saying that his constituency will make sure he wins the gubernatorial election come 2026.
