Ekiti Governor Oyebanji brand positioning amidst competitive politics

Assessing the phenomenal, giant strides being recorded by the executive governor of Ekiti state, His Excellency Biodun Oyebanji, one cannot but be tempted to reflect on the immortal words of Arthur Ernest Morgan, one time US administrator and civil engineer who lived between 1878-1975. Morgan, in one of his famous statements said; ‘’He is the best leader who most understands the nature of things, so that his plans are not doomed to ultimate failure; who possesses an active, far-ranging imagination which can see many possibilities; who has a sense of values, so that among possibilities he is able to choose the most excellent; who has a sense of order, to give form, design and program to the values and purposes he selects; who has practical sense and judgement, and so uses the most feasible means to accomplish his ends; and who has the energy and enthusiasm to carry his plans persistently towards fruition.’’

Wisely playing the “underdog”, he kept his cool, selling his vision and mission to the citizens of the state across party-lines. It is no wonder then that he was able to quickly attract hitherto strong opposition political leaders in the state into APC.

Today the political situation in Ekiti state has greatly improved and sanity restored while peaceful co-existence amongst the citizens and residents of the state has become the order of the day.

Having being able to restore peace, law and order in the state, Governor Oyebanji has de-emphasized politics of hate and bitterness and instead embarked on inclusive governance, catering for all, consulting all stakeholders and running a government that has eyes and ears for the people.
