As part of efforts geared towards the re-election of Governor Biodun Oyebanji, The Ekiti Advancement Frontiers (EAF), a pressure group in Ekiti State which has recently thrown its weight behind Governor Biodun Oyebanji in his re-election bid, is set to hit the nooks and crannies of the state to garner support for the incumbent Governor who is seeking a second term in office.
Dr. Adedeji Oso, the Convener of the group made this known in a statement made available to press in Ado-Ekiti on Sunday.
Oso stated that EAF will go all out to ensure that Governor Biodun Oyebanji is returned for a second term and will roll out material and intellectual resources in support of Oyebanji who has performed creditably well and thus deserving of a second tenure.
‘For a start, we will be reaching out to Stakeholders to ensure they remain committed to BAO’s re-election, while we extend support to vulnerable citizens to complement the efforts of the Governor who has prioritised their welfare through his policies and programs like the Ounjẹ Ekiti scheme where citizens can get foodstuffs at subsidized rates and the government cash transfers to households.
So, we are commencing with 50 bags of rice and 20 bags of Garri which will be repackaged into 5kg bags for distribution during our outreaches’. The statement read.
Oso also stated that EAF will be giving out cash gifts of ₦10,000 each to quite a number of vulnerable persons across the 16 LGAs of the State, while the group is already working on erecting billboards across the state to spread the message of Biodun Oyebanji’s continuity of shared prosperity.
