Amid the growing political tension among key political actors in Ekiti State, Otunba Olumuyiwa Babalola, a leading Governorship Aspirant under the African Democratic Congress (ADC), has called for calm, maturity, and renewed focus on leadership that prioritizes the welfare of the people.
In a statement released on Sunday, Otunba Babalola described the ongoing rift within the political space as “unfortunate but revealing,” noting that it exposes the cracks within the current political structure that has failed to deliver unity and sustainable development in Ekiti.
The political feud among influential figures in government shows how personal ambition continues to overshadow public interest,” Babalola said.
“Ekiti deserves leaders who build bridges, not walls — leaders who unite the people and not divide them for selfish reasons.”
Babalola, who has been a consistent advocate for unity and value-based leadership, emphasized that the African Democratic Congress (ADC) represents a credible and peaceful alternative for the people of Ekiti as the state moves toward another crucial political season.
While others are busy fighting for power, the ADC is busy preparing for service,” he declared
.
“We are building a movement rooted in integrity, inclusiveness, and shared prosperity. The people of Ekiti are watching, and they know who truly has their interest at heart.”
He urged political stakeholders across the state to put aside ego and bitterness, warning that needless political crises only divert attention from the real issues confronting citizens — including unemployment, poor infrastructure, and economic hardship.
“Our people need jobs, not political drama. They need roads, not rivalry. They need leadership that brings hope, not headlines filled with conflict,” he said.
Otunba Babalola further affirmed that the ADC has maintained unity, focus, and internal discipline, positioning itself as the most stable and people-centered party in Ekiti today.
“We in the ADC are united in purpose and vision. We are not fighting ourselves — we are working together to rebuild Ekiti and restore its pride,” he concluded.
Otunba Olumuyiwa Babalola is a respected entrepreneur, public administrator, and community leader. A frontline Governorship Aspirant under the African Democratic Congress (ADC), he is known for his passion for youth empowerment, good governance, and inclusive development. His message centers on unity, integrity, and credible leadership for Ekiti’s progress.
