“Leadership is practiced not so much in words as in attitude and in actions.” – Harold Geneen
BAO is such a pride to Our party, APC and Ekiti in general. For the first time in history, no former Governor of the State is currently against him. Don’t come and tell me it’s because he’s settling them oooo… Don’t underrate a former Governor that after leaving office, he would still need to be fed by the current Governor.
The contacts they’d made alone can feed them forever. As a sitting Governor, you can’t buy a former Governor who doesn’t love you. If you doubt it, why is Fubara not buying Wike as we speak? It’s still because he’s not worth buying him. Fubara would have done plenty of things to buy Wike but for a fact that the love is no more there, he (Wike) doesn’t have a price so as all other former Governors.
The above inference, shows that only loving intentions can buy People to your side. The former Governors are not hungry as it may be presumed by some disgruntled People and they can never be, forever. It takes loving-kindness, intentionality, cool-headedness, recognition and legitimacy to buy the unique interests of former Governors from different parties, not the money.
“There are three essentials to leadership: humility, clarity and courage.” —Chan Master Fuchan Yuan
BAO has really shown to be special and exceptional. He’s a man after the hearts of those who truly love the State and her dynamics. Whatever can bring Baba Afe Babalola, Chief Wole Olanipekun and Chief Femi FALANA of this world together, such thing has passed through the hurdles of those requirements listed above. Senator Ojudu fought virtually all the former Governors’ re-elections, whilst they’re Governing the State at one time or the other, but now, same Senator Ojudu is only having the relentless desires to work for BAO’s re-election, same as other opposition Members who are now freely desiring him (BAO) for a second term.
BAO has indeed simplified governance in Ekiti State, to the extent of laying the durable foundation for the solid future, and rich in good governance-templates for Up-And-Coming governments to be bred from the trait of Omoluabism that has endeared Governor ‘Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji, BAO, to the hearts of almost everyone in the State.
Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji, has indeed set the long-lasting precedences for those God will bless with taking up the governance of the State, subsequently. It’s indeed a plus to all of us! Through these established quality precedences, there will be no more— abandonment of projects by successive governments in the State. That alone assures the State of development-driven results and Ekiti People shall continue to rejoice and be glad in it.
BAO needs Our supports as good indigenes for a greater Ekiti that the foundation and pillar can now be confirmed strong and trusted.
Let’s all anticipate a greater Ekiti with Governor ‘Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji, BAO till 2030.
