A renowned Lawyer and Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Wole Olanipekun, has called on the new administration in Ekiti State to focus more on infrastructure, Education and Security.
Olanipekun, who was speaking to newsmen in his hometown, Ikere Ekiti, also appealed to those who have cases in court against the governor to sheath the sword in the interest of the State.
The occasion was the Annual Wole Olanipekun Scholarship for Ekiti Students where governor Biodun Oyebanji was in attendance.
He explained that, though it was in their right to fight for perceived injustice, but urged them to prioritize Ekiti’s development and allow the government of Oyebanji to settle and perform for the next four years.
The legal luminary expressed his readiness to broker peace, as he described governor Oyebanji as a young man who had been extending olive branch to all, adding that the uplift of the state should be paramount to all.
Speaking on his expectation from Oyebanji’s administration, Olanipekun said that infrastructure should be given more attention, which, according to him would in turn bring industrial revolution to the state.
He told the governor to also prioritize internal security by utilizing the Amotekun Corps effectively to curb insecurity.
The legal icon was of the view that the government should be people driven and encouraged the administration to maximize the opportunity in people of letters that abound in the state.
