Governor Oyebanji described the Renewed Hope agenda of President Tinubu as a blueprint carefully packaged to provide panacea to all challenges confronting the polity across the various sectors.

The Governor also congratulated the immediate past President Muhammadu Buhari on the successful completion of his two terms of four years each and for superintending over a successful general election which has just birthed an equally successful transfer of power.

While noting that though expectations are very high as the new administration settles down to the serious business of governance, Oyebanji urged Nigerians to be patient with the new President and his team as they implement their agenda to take Nigeria to a higher pedestal of development.

“I urge Nigerians irrespective of their political, ethnic and religious affiliations to pray for the success of President Tinubu and support him to realize his dream of a prosperous Nigeria that will fully realize its potentials.

“The elections have come and gone, President Tinubu is now the father of the nation; he is not a President of his political party or a section of the country but the President of the whole entity called Nigeria.

“President Tinubu has demonstrated competence as a Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria during which he was Chairman of Senate Committee on Banking and Currency and during his stellar two-term tenure as the Governor of Lagos State which has remained a reference point in governance in Nigeria.

“The government and people of Ekiti State wish our new President a very successful tenure of office and we are assuring him of our readiness to partner with him to ensure a greater, stronger, more united and prosperous Nigeria.” The Governor said.
