In politics, legacy is not claimed. Instead, it is earned, seen, and remembered. But in Ekiti State, as Governor Biodun Oyebanji enters the latter stretch of his first term, many are quietly asking: where is it?
To be clear, no one expects a governor to transform the world overnight. But leadership leaves traces, visible marks of intent, impact, and vision. So far, critics argue, Ekiti’s landscape tells a quieter story. A recent commentator went as far as suggesting the only consistent pattern of delivery has been “upkeep” to political elders. Others have questioned why, nearly three years in, there is little beyond routine governance to show.
One such voice, Isaac Fayose, known for his unabashed commentary, noted the absence of any major project launch on Democracy Day. His observation echoed a broader sentiment: that despite rising federal allocations and increasing national opportunities, Ekiti seems caught in a pause mode.
