The Chairman of the Trade Union Congress (TUC), Ekiti State Council, Comrade Dr Omotola Farotimi, has congratulated Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji on his inauguration for a second term in office.
In a congratulatory message, Farotimi described the governor’s return to office for a second term as a divine arrangement, noting that he had broken the jinx of uninterrupted governance in the state.
She acknowledged the achievements recorded by the Oyebanji administration during its first term, particularly the prompt payment of workers’ salaries, infrastructural development, interventions in the education and healthcare sectors, increased subventions to tertiary institutions, and support for the informal sector.
Farotimi urged the governor not to relent in his efforts to improve the welfare of the people and sustain development across the state during his second term.
The TUC chairman also congratulated the wife of the governor, Professor Olayemi Oyebanji, on her elevation to the rank of professor by the University of Ibadan.
She described the First Lady as a mother who had continued to make significant contributions to academia and the development of Ekiti State and beyond through life-changing initiatives.
Farotimi rejoiced with the governor and his wife on what she described as a double celebration, comprising the governor’s second-term inauguration and the First Lady’s professorial elevation.
She also congratulated the Deputy Governor, Chief Monisade Afuye, the Okinlua of Ikere-Ekiti, on her re-election, describing her as the first deputy governor in the state to be re-elected for a consecutive second term.
The TUC chairman further congratulated the Secretary to the State Government, Professor Abibat Adubiaro; the Chief of Staff, Mr Niyi Adebayo; and the Chief Press Secretary, Mr Olayinka Oyebode, on their reappointments.
She prayed that God would continue to endow them with wisdom, knowledge and understanding to enable them to deliver more dividends of democracy to the people of Ekiti State.
Farotimi assured Governor Oyebanji of the TUC’s continued and unwavering support, expressing confidence that the collaboration would help the administration achieve more during its second term in office.
