The Aare Ogboni Alale of Ekiti State, Chief Oladele Fadare has charged the Governor of Ekiti, Mr Biodun Oyebanji to fulfill his electioneering promises by extending political appointments to the traditional religious worshipers .

Chief Fadare gave the charge during an interview with journalists from the Ministry of Information and Values Orientation in Odo Oro, Ikole Local Government Area.

He stressed that what could be one of the major achievements of Mr Biodun Oyebanji government  would be to appoint a traditionalist to his cabinet so as to ensure fairness and equity among the three major religions in Nigeria.  

The traditionalist commended Oyebanji's administration on it's efforts at curtailing the security challenges, construction of some roads and continuous work of various legacy projects across the state within his few days in office.

He said the group abhors  human rituals,and dispel the  misinformation that the cult supports such.

Aare Ogboni Ekiti State therefore advised the government to make the welfare of the workforce and other non- government workers his topmost priority. 


Chief Oladele therefore charged the Biodun Oyebanji-led government to provide enabling environment for people living with disability to have a sense of belonging and to thrive in their different endeavors .

He called on the state government not to relent in it's fight against any form of gender based violence in the state and also to look into capturing the welfare of the traditionalists in the 2023 budget.

 Aare Ogboni of Ekiti State later admonished Ekiti State government to come to the aid of the Ogbonis in the state in order to complete iledi that is nearing completion, reiterating the cordial relationship that exist between Ogboni confraternity and other religious sects in Ekiti State.

He urged Oyebanji's administration to also declare Iseese day in Ekiti as is being practised in some states in the  South Wes,t adding that it will be a honor if a traditional place of worship is established within the government house as there are chapels and mosque,to engender religious balancing.
