Oyebanji: The Rally of Ekiti State By Abiodun Komolafe 
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

An interesting recent news item in the recent past was the massive crowd that greeted Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji (BAO) of Ekiti State’s declaration to run for a second term.

A key element of the event was the governor’s endorsement across the dividing lines by members of other political parties, tendencies and factions.

The key issue here is that, having shifted the perception of politics in the state and created what’s looking like a new base of hegemony, BAO has put himself in a pole position to sweep the electoral calculus. Therefore, anyone contesting against him has a mountain to climb.

Politics is about determining the territory of perception. Oyebanji has clearly shifted the calculus by positioning himself as above partisan and sectional divides, emerging as “The Rally of Ekiti State.”

In fairness to the facts, BAO has made a mark! He has become a towering figure focused on public service, leveraging exceptional leadership skills and an uncanny ability to build complex relationships.

The question now is: what alternative can be offered that surpasses Oyebanji’s vision and leadership?
