Ekiti State Governor, Biodun Oyebanji, has said President Bola Tinubu provided remarkable leadership in the last two years.

Mr Oyebanji hailed the President for stabilising the ship of the state which, he said has been “successfully anchored with life-changing policies” that were having positive effects on the economy and other key sectors.

The governor’s Special Adviser on Media, Yinka Oyebode, made this known in a statement in Ado-Ekiti on Thursday.

Mr Oyebanji lauded the courage exhibited by the President in tackling the myriads of problems he met on ground, noting that the right solutions provided brought some relief to Nigerians.

He noted that Tinubu’s visionary leadership and conscientious pursuit of his administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda had been yielding dividends and strengthened the polity to the admiration of many Nigerians.

According to him, it is fulfilling and heart-warming to note that under two years of the Tinubu Presidency, Nigeria is now in a better shape than at any time in the past decade based on microeconomic and macroeconomic indices on ground.

The governor applauded Mr Tinubu’s investment in agriculture, mining, blue economy, tourism and other key sectors which he believes would translate to better standards of living and generate more jobs for Nigerians.

Mr Oyebanji also commended the President for his economic reforms, which is making more resources available to the sub nationals, thereby enhancing growth and development across the states of the federation.

He further expressed gratitude to the President for assisting the state with empowerment initiatives, capital projects, appointments of deserving indigenes into prominent positions and siting of a new federal university among several other benefits.

The governor urged the people of Ekiti at home and in the diaspora to keep supporting the President in working to realise his vision for a greater and more prosperous Nigeria in years to come.

He stated, “On behalf of the government and good people of Ekiti State, I wish the President a happy anniversary and pray that God Almighty continues to guide and order his steps aright.’’
