Idowu Afuye Lauds Princess Okinlua Monisade Christiana Afuye
Says she’s A Proven Partner in Ekiti’s Progress
In recent days, mischievous insinuations from a few errant politicians have sought to cast doubt on the competence of Her Excellency, Princess Okinlua Monisade Christiana Afuye, the Deputy Governor of Ekiti State. These unfounded claims suggest she is unfit to continue as the second-term running mate to His Excellency, Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji.
As someone who has had the privilege of closely working with her and accompanying her on official engagements, I can confidently attest to her remarkable capacity, diligence, and unwavering loyalty to the Governor and the people of Ekiti State.
Unquestionable Commitment and Loyalty
From the day she assumed office, Princess Afuye has remained a shining example of dedication. She is consistently “up and doing,” always present, always engaged, and always focused on her constitutional duties. Her 100% loyalty to Governor Oyebanji is not only evident but exemplary. In an era when political disloyalty has become common, her harmonious working relationship with the Governor stands as a model of partnership for effective governance.
Performance Beyond Expectation
The Deputy Governor executes her constitutional roles with precision, ensuring that the policies and programmes of the present administration reach the grassroots. She has demonstrated fairness, objectivity, and a rare commitment to the people of Ekiti State. Not once has she allowed personal interest to interfere with her duties. Her cordial relationship with people across political, ethnic, and social divides speaks volumes of her emotional intelligence and leadership style.
Breaking Stereotypes and Inspiring Women
Her Excellency is living proof that leadership is not the exclusive preserve of men. She embodies the truth in the saying: “What a man can do, a woman can do even better.” Her leadership inspires women and girls across Ekiti to dream big and to believe that gender is not a barrier to excellence in governance.
Appeal for Peace and Continuity
To those aggrieved or conspiring against her, I appeal for reason and statesmanship. Let us not destabilize the peace and tranquillity that Ekiti State enjoys under the Oyebanji-Afuye partnership. The progress we have achieved in the past years should not be sacrificed on the altar of baseless political scheming. For the sake of stability, growth, and continued development, the status quo should remain unchanged.
Her Excellency, Princess Okinlua Monisade Christiana Afuye, has proven herself to be not only competent but also indispensable to the success of this administration. Ekiti needs her and together with Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji, they can take the state to even greater heights in the next term.
