Details emerge as Oyebanji swears-in new commissioners, special advisers in Ekiti
The Governor of Ekiti State, Hon Biodun Oyebanji, yesterday swore in newly appointed commissioners and special advisers.
Oyebanji also appealed to members of the All Progressives Congress in Ekiti to continually market the party’s presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to be able to win the 2023 poll.
The new appointees and their portfolios are Mr. Akintunde Oyebode, Commissioner for Finance; and Mr Oyebanji Filani, as the Commissioner for Health.
The special advisers are: Mr Niyi Adebayo, Budget, Economic Planning and Performance Management; Mrs Tayo Adeola, Investment, Trade and Industry; Mr Ebenezer Boluwade, Agriculture and Food Security
Others include Dr. Kofoworola Aderiye, Education, Science and Technology; Chief Awe, Political and Inter-Party Affairs; Architect Tope Ogunleye Bureau of Special Projects; Mr Seun Fakuade Governance, Reforms and Innovation and Mr Oyebode, Media and Strategy/ CPS.
Oyebanji , who spoke in Ado Ekiti at the swearing-in ceremony, clarified that the fact that the new appointees are majorly technocrats and apolitical individuals didn’t connote that the political class will be neglected in the scheme of things.
He said he was being circumspect of the fact that he needed to compose those who won’t be distracted by politics into his cabinet, saying this informed why he appointed technocrats to serve as the drivers of his government
