“Your Product Is Working!” - Ewi of Ado, Ekiti People Reaffirm Support for Governor Oyebanji
A moment from the past has become even more relevant today.
In this video from the 2022 electioneering season, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, then a national leader of the APC, visited the palace of His Imperial Majesty, the Ewi of Ado-Ekiti, alongside Mr. Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji, the APC governorship candidate at the time. Tinubu came to seek royal blessing and the support of the people.
Here, the Ewi, Oba Rufus Adejugbe, spoke with unmistakable clarity and conviction. “This product you’ve brought doesn’t even need advertisement,” he said, referring to Oyebanji. “He’s one of us. One of those who fought for the creation of Ekiti State.”
That royal endorsement, backed by the APC, the people, and divine favour, translated into BAO’s emergence as governor.
Fast-forward to today, the story has come full circle. His Imperial Majesty recently visited President Tinubu in Abuja to give feedback. It was simple and sincere: “The product you brought us is working. We want continuity.”
And the monarch is not alone in that sentiment.
From former governors to civil servants, market women to okada and tricycle riders, artisans, youth groups, traditional rulers, and even leaders of opposition parties, the message has been consistent, as Governor Oyebanji is performing; he’s also uniting, reforming, and delivering on all fronts.
Here in Ekiti, we’ve moved past politics of bitterness and boxed loyalties. We celebrate brilliance and reward competence. We appreciate leaders who value the people, and Governor Oyebanji is a living proof of that standard.
The call for continuity is not about party. It’s about performance. And Ekiti is speaking with one voice, saying, "Let BAO continue."
