The immediate past Chairman of Ekiti State Council of Obas, and the
Alawe of Ilawe Oba Adebanji Alabi, has charged the incoming
Governor of Ekiti, Mr Biodun Oyebanji to prioritise rehabilitation of
roads across the state.

Alawe gave this charge during an interview with journalists from the ministry of information and values orientation in his
palace in Ilawe Ekiti,

The traditional ruler said that, despite the huge investment of
Governor Kayode Fayemi's Administration on roads, the heavy downpour
and the influx of heavy trucks on Ekiti roads in the recent times had
caused untold damages that need urgent intervention.

Oba Alabi who lauded the outgoing Governor Fayemi for his numerous
achievements, described him as a quintessential politician, visionary
leader and a pacesetter who has written his name in gold.

He mentioned some of Governor Kayode Fayemi’s Administration legacy
projects to include the construction of Agro-Cargo Airport, building
of new schools, Obafemi Awolowo Civic Center, creation of LCDAs to
bring government more closer to the grassroots  among others.

Alawe of Ilawe therefore expressed his confidence in the incoming
administration noting that the Governor-elect is fully informed about
government even from the creation of Ekiti State with a charge to him
to consolidate on the achievements of his predecessor.

The King urged the incoming Governor to complete all the projects
started by his predecessors most especially the renovation of palaces
across the state, completion of the traditional council chamber under
construction and other developmental projects across the state.

He called on governments at all levels to consider empowering the
traditional rulers to be actively involved in governance beyond the
advisory role given to them, admonishing the Biodun Oyebanji-led
government to empower the traditional rulers to assist government in
tackling insecurity.

 The monarch said the involvement of traditional rulers in local
policing of their domains will reduce criminality rate and
insecurity in the society as they are the ones closer to the people,
who understand their languages, terrain and who can monitor
effectively happenings and development in their respective
communities.
