He said, “The recent appointments of over 150 people by the government of Ekiti led by governor Oyebanji is a waste of Ekiti resources, political rather than economical which is the present need of the state.
“The appointments are of no benefits for Ekiti and her people in generality because Ekiti is still among the poorest states in the country despite its endowments.
“The governor is losing focus by surrounding himself with praise singers. Ekiti is now getting multiple of what it used to get as federal allocation.
“This is more than any governor has ever gotten in Ekiti. I expect the governor to log into this rare opportunity of fat federal allocation and lift Ekiti out of poverty and desist from “chop make I chop” kind of government.
“Appointing plenty spokesperson (SA, SSA, etc) at the expense of a poor state like ours would only be creating mirage, no tangible development, but they would only be magnifying/ dressing of projects of past government to either complete it or commission it as if though it’s an achievement of this government.
“Ekiti deserves more from you, Mr Governor. We are not close yet, let alone being there.”
