A former deputy governor in Ekiti state, Prof. Modupe Adelabu has solicited support for Governor Biodun Oyebanji’s administration at a free medical healthcare program organized by her for her ward, Ward 4 All Progress Congress (APC) members on Saturday 20th January 2024.
Prof. Adelabu in her brief remarks before the commencement of the free healthcare program called on party members to seek clarification on any issue about the government that is unclear to them from their leaders, ward chairman or anyone that is close to the Governor instead of keeping mute and be saying negative things about the government.
“To my esteemed party members, if there is anything that is not clear to you or you want the Governor to do, don’t hesitate to tell your leaders, ward chairman or anyone that is close to the Governor for necessary action. She said the Governor is a listening governor. There is nothing you tell him that he doesn’t act on.
“Let’s rally round his administration . He has performed creditably well. Our support is what he needs to succeed in office.
The former Deputy Governor while commending Governor Oyebanji for his giant strides said her free medical health mission for party members is to support the good effort of the Governor in area of healthcare. She added that the issue of healthcare is of most importance to him.
“This free medical heathcare is to support his effort . If the Governor doesn’t make the environment in Ekiti conducive for us we won’t be here. Government alone can not do it all that is why we decided to embark on this free medical health mission for the benefit of our people”
The free health mission which was a yearly program recorded an impressive turn out of party members from within and outside ward 4 . Free drugs, and glasses were distributed. Members were screened for diabetes and hypertension.
Beneficiaries of the free healthcare showed their profound appreciation to Prof. Adelabu and prayed for her continual success.
Among the beneficiaries is Mrs Taye Adebowale from ward 4. She commended the Deputy Governor for the kind gesture and good initiative.
“I want to use this opportunity to appreciate Her Excellency, Professor Modupe Adelabu for this kind gestures and good initiative. She has taken a good step worthy of emulation. My prayer is that God Almighty will continue to uplight her”
Also the Chairman of ward 4, Mr. Babalola Tajudeen, shows appreciation for what the Deputy Governor has done for her party members.
“We appreciate Prof. Modupe Adelabu for this free medical heathcare. She is a person that is always willing to help those around her”.
This year’s programme was co sponsored by Hon. Sola Fatoba and prominent members of the Ward such as Mr Kayode Ologunja, Elder Femi Ologunja, Mr Remi Oguntuase (REMOG) and Mr Bunmi Oguntuase.
