A member of the Ekiti State Waste Management Board, Mr Wale Ade-Oba, has announced his resignation from the Biodun Oyebanji-led administration, citing dissatisfaction with the state government’s performance and direction.
In a statement released on Tuesday, Ade-Oba criticised Governor Oyebanji for what he described as a lack of meaningful development across the state despite significant budgetary allocations.
He accused the governor of being frequently absent from the state and pursuing an “unclear agenda,” which he claims has led to ineffective governance and neglect of loyal party members.

“I believe the administration hasn’t delivered meaningful development to many local government areas, including mine, Irepodun/Ifelodun,” Ade-Oba said.
He also expressed frustration over the treatment of party members, alleging that those who contributed to the party’s electoral success were being overlooked in favour of opposition figures.
“Our party members are being overlooked and undervalued despite their hard work and dedication to the party’s success,” he said.
Ade-Oba further declared his support for the Pro-Chancellor of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, Mr Kayode Ojo, whom he described as a visionary leader with the potential to transform Ekiti State.
“Engr. Kayode Ojo’s leadership style and vision for Ekiti resonate with me. I believe his administration would prioritise the needs of our people, recognise the efforts of our party members, and drive development across all local government areas,” he stated.
He urged others to join him in seeking a change in leadership, pledging to work towards what he called a “brighter future” for the state.
