Ekiti State Governor Biodun Oyebanji dissolves his State Executive Council as his administration prepares for the start of his second term. Multiple outlets report that the action takes place following meetings with members of the cabinet, including a valedictory gathering at the Governor’s Office in Ado-Ekiti.
While the cabinet is dissolved, Oyebanji retains three key officials: the Secretary to the State Government (SSG) and two others. The outlets describe the retained aides as continuing to support the governor’s second-term agenda, and one outlet notes Oyebanji’s remarks that members of the dissolved council formed a “formidable team” contributing to delivery on administration promises.
Across the reports, the main point is consistent: the governor reorganizes his executive leadership at the transition into the second year in office, keeping a small group in place while replacing the rest.
