RE: KAYODE OJO HAILS EKITI AIRPORT COMMERCIAL FLIGHTS, FROWNS AT GOVERNMENT’S DENIAL OF STAKEHOLDERS’ INVOLVEMENT

SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT

I have carefully read the various media reports referenced above, and it has become necessary to set the record straight, particularly as my name was mentioned in my former capacity as Technical Adviser to the Governor on the Ekiti Airport Project at the material time.

This clarification has become imperative in view of claims attributed to Engr. Kayode Ojo, suggesting that I endorsed or validated his alleged contributions to the Ekiti Cargo International Airport project. While Engr. Kayode Ojo at some point indicated an intention to construct a fire station at the airport and was shown a location for that purpose, it is important, in the interest of truth and public accountability, to clearly state the facts as follows:

1. Prior to the governorship primary election 2022, Engr. Kayode Ojo conveyed some blocks to the airport premises through his contractor, purportedly in anticipation of constructing a fire station.

2. Immediately after the primary election, his representatives returned to the site and removed all the blocks that had earlier been brought in. At no time were these materials deployed for the construction of the fire station, nor was any material—not even a bag of cement—left behind for that purpose.

3. Throughout my tenure as Technical Adviser on the Airport Project, I did not receive any form of support—financial, material, or technical—from Engr. Kayode Ojo toward the construction of the fire station or any other component of the airport project. It is also on record that the airport fire station was eventually completed by the Ekiti State Government in mid-2024.

Consequently, the claim by Engr. Kayode Ojo that I was referenced or relied upon to validate such assertions is entirely false, misleading, and reckless. I state unequivocally, and on good authority, that these claims are untrue and should be disregarded in their entirety.

This statement is issued solely to correct the public record and to prevent any distortion of facts surrounding the Ekiti Cargo International Airport project.

Hon. (AVM Rtd.) Ojuawo Rufus Adeniyi

Hon Tope Agidi debunks malicious propaganda against Governor Biodun Oyebanji's program

Hon Tope Agidi debunks malicious propaganda against Governor Biodun Oyebanji's program   The attention of well-meaning Ekiti people has been drawn to the misleading and reckless post by Mr. Opeyemi Falegan, alleging that His Excellency, Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji, is “stealing” funds budgeted for the elderly.  This statement is not only false, but a deliberate attempt to misinform the public and belittle the social investment efforts of government. For the avoidance of doubt, the Owo Arugbo programme is alive and active. Thousands of elderly citizens across the 16 Local Government Areas and 22 LCDAs of Ekiti State are beneficiaries, receiving stipends regularly as part of the social welfare scheme. Records are available, names are documented, and testimonies abound in communities where these interventions are felt. It is therefore mischievous and self-serving for anyone to arrogate to himself the sole caretaker of widows and the elderly in Ekiti State. C...

A Citizen’s response to Prof Alo’s malicious and childish allegations against BAO Your Childish, Malicious Allegations Won't Deprive Oyebanji of Second Term, Activist Slams Prof Alo A prominent activist and social reform expert, Dr. James Adesanya, has stoutly condemned those spewing spurious allegations against Governor Biodun Oyebanji to dwindle his popularity, dent his image and gain undue upper hands in the October 27, 2025 All Progressives Congress Governorship  primary. Dr Adesanya described Governor Oyebanji  as an exceptionally  prudent leader, with steely loyalty to leadership, and who can be trusted with power, branding the allegations of reckless loan acquisition and other underhand financial dealings leveled  against the governor, as practically  lacking in facts and substances. The social activist and owner of Citizens And Social Reformation Centre , said this in his response to the series of  allegations leveled against the governo...
