All women working in Oye Local Government under the umbrella of the Nigeria Union of Local Government Employees, NULGE, Women’s Wing have unanimously declared their open support for the administration of Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji endorsing him for second term in office.
The women in their large number gathered at the council secretariat in branded attires, singing and chanting praises of the Governor.
The event attracted top government officials including a former Acting Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Mrs Kemi Olaleye, Hon. Sunday Adumo, Chairperson of Oye Local Government, Princess Bamisile Adesola Clara, wives of LCDA Chairmen just to mention but a few.
Addressing newsmen, the Co-ordinator of the event and NULGE chairpersons, Women’s Wing, Fadeke Adegun said the endorsement of Governor Oyebanji was done out of conviction by the women based on the various impact he has made within his two years in office.
She noted that council workers have never had it so good like this before, hence the need to support the Governor so as to encourage him to do more.
According to her, there seems to be no department nor section in the council that has not benefited from the policy and programmes of the Governor among which she highlighted as regular payment of salaries, payment of outstanding benefits, approval of hazard allowance for health workers, implementation of Consolidated Salary, just to mention but a few.
In a remark, Chairperson of Oye Local Government, Princess Bamisile Adesola Clara thanked the women for the endorsement which she described as thoughtful.
She noted that Governor Oyebanji deserves to be allowed to continue in office because he has recorded unprecedented successes.
