Accompanied by Governor Oyebanji, Senator Bamidele praised the governor’s transformative leadership and people-oriented policies, which have significantly developed the state. He emphasized the governor’s ability to unify various political factions and mobilize the people for development.

Senator Bamidele highlighted that Governor Oyebanji’s collaboration with National Assembly members has facilitated numerous constituency projects across the six local governments in Ekiti Central Senatorial District. He attributed this to the peaceful and cooperative atmosphere fostered by the governor.

Bamidele expressed gratitude for the governor’s support, enabling lawmakers to return home and work on constituency projects. He affirmed that the National Assembly members would align their projects with the governor’s development agenda, including market development, transformers, and solar street lights.
