GOV OYEBANJI THANKS PRESIDENT TINUBU OVER GENERAL OLUYEDE’S APPOINTMENT AS CDS

Ekiti State Governor, Mr. Biodun Oyebanji, has expressed profound gratitude to the President, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu on the appointment of General Olufemi Oluyede as Chief of Defence Staff.

General Oluyede, who hails from Ikere-Ekiti, was until the new appointment the Chief of Army Staff.

Governor Oyebanji, in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Yinka Oyebode, in Ado-Ekiti on Friday, hailed General Oluyede’s appointment as a welcome development.

Specifically, the Governor thanked the President for recognizing the exemplary qualities of the Ikere-Ekiti-born General and for entrusting him with such a strategic position.

Governor Oyebanji said the new CDS epitomizes the core values of courage, integrity and loyalty for which Ekitis are known, adding that he possesses a high level of integrity and professionalism required to make a success of the new assignment being given to him by the President.

The Governor expressed confidence in General Oluyede’s ability to excel in his new role, describing him as a gallant officer with proven track record of accomplishments in his illustrious military career.

He urged the new CDS to leverage his extensive experience and expertise, in charting a new direction for the military, particularly during this critical period.

“The Government and the people of Ekiti State are grateful to the President, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu for General Oluyede’s appointment. We wish him success in this new assignment and pledge our unalloyed support for him.”

This APC people are taking this bootlicking to the highest level.

Which one is thanking the president because he gave somebody a national assignment?

Somebody we don't know if he is going to succeed or fail and disgrace out of office?

One day they will start thanking Tinubu when super eagles invite a player to the national team 😂😂

I've never seen this kind of nonsense in this country before.

I KNOW THEY WILL COME AND JUSTIFY NONSENSE OYA WE ARE WAITING FOR YOUR JUSTIFICATION HERE.

Nawaoo for this people o!

Congratulations.......

Re: Gov Oyebanji Thanks President Tinubu Over General Oluyede’s Appointment As CDs by fasho01(m): 1:20pm On Oct 25, 2025
Thanking the president for the appointment makes it look like a request made prior to the appointment that has now been granted undecided
Re: Gov Oyebanji Thanks President Tinubu Over General Oluyede’s Appointment As CDs by barinedan(m): 1:20pm On Oct 25, 2025
It's not about thanking the president, can your candidate deliver? Don't just celebrate appointment, we should also celebrate performance and achievement

Eye service up and down. Abeg, don't distract these young officers by your nepotical ambiance. They have jobs to do and yet to even commence the jobs. We aren't sure they would succeed even though we pray they succeed. There's nothing wonderful or appreciative to show for employing you to do your job as excellent as possible. Busybodies should stop henceforth praising these officers and allow them not get distracted or become a favourite to a governor or a politician.......

Unfortunately, you don't know your ancestry let alone village. As such, you can get offended when people from other clans are elevated

Don't mind the bugallo politicians. They would be jumping like antelopes with a burning tails. They better leave those young officers to do the jobs they are employed to do. I wish them success devoid of any nepotism like those of past officers like Buarantai etc........

Unnecessary thank U. It has nothing to do with Ekiti. There's no direct benefit foe Ekiti. He is serving Nigeria not Ekiti.
Cheap tribalism
