In a letter addressed to the House of Assembly, Governor Oyebanji requested the screening and confirmation of the nominees who served under his administration during his first term. The three former commissioners are mentioned in a report by Premium Times, while the list of 10 special advisers is yet to be made public. According to reports from Punch Newspapers and Tribune Online, Governor Oyebanji made the request in a bid to strengthen his cabinet ahead of the second term. The approval of these nominees is subject to the screening and confirmation by the Ekiti State House of Assembly. While the reasons for these reappointments have not been made clear, it is believed that these individuals bring valuable experience and expertise to the table. It is not uncommon for governors to seek the approval of their state’s House of Assembly for the appointment of commissioners and special advisers, especially ahead of a new term. This move by Governor Oyebanji underscores his commitment to governance and development in Ekiti State.
