The governor made the appeal while receiving newly inaugurated executives of the APC South-West zone, led by National Vice Chairman Dr Isaac Kekemeke, in Ado Ekiti.
Oyebanji said the federal government’s economic reforms, infrastructure drive, and stabilisation efforts have had a positive impact on citizens across the country, including Ekiti State.
He noted that better communication of these achievements would help deepen public understanding and appreciation of government initiatives, especially at the grassroots level.
According to him, effective messaging at ward and community levels would ensure that citizens are better informed about ongoing reforms and development projects.
The governor recalled the economic conditions before President Tinubu’s inauguration, describing the period as challenging, while noting that subsequent fiscal reforms had improved the situation for sub-national governments.
Oyebanji said federal projects in Ekiti, including road rehabilitation and rail connectivity, reflect increased federal presence in the state.
He added that party leaders must actively engage citizens with verifiable information to counter opposition narratives and strengthen public trust in government policies.
The APC South-West leadership, in response, reaffirmed its support for governors in the region and expressed confidence in the party’s growing influence ahead of future elections.
Dr Kekemeke described ongoing party efforts as part of a broader strategy to consolidate APC’s dominance in the South-West, while expressing optimism about future electoral outcomes in the region.

The Chief Judge of Zamfara State, Justice Kulu Aliyu, administered the oath of office to the appointees, who pledged allegiance to the Federal Republic of Nigeria in accordance with the Constitution and the law.
Speaking at the ceremony, Lawal congratulated the new permanent secretaries, describing their appointments as recognition of their experience, abilities and readiness to take on greater responsibilities.
He said their roles extended beyond personal career advancement, noting that their decisions and conduct would influence government performance and the welfare of residents.
“The Permanent Secretary is central to Government, providing administrative leadership, institutional continuity, and policy advice while implementing approved programs,” the governor said.
He added that permanent secretaries were responsible for maintaining discipline, coordinating their establishments and ensuring that public resources were used for their intended purposes.
Lawal said his administration remained committed to strengthening government institutions and improving public administration to support Zamfara’s development priorities.
He noted that the civil service played a critical role in translating government decisions into practical results, particularly in the delivery of essential services.
The governor urged the new appointees to align their work with his administration’s priorities through proper planning, realistic implementation strategies, effective supervision and continuous assessment of results.
He also called on them to maintain constructive and professional relationships with commissioners and other political officeholders.
According to Lawal, political leaders are responsible for setting policy, while career civil servants provide the institutional knowledge, technical advice and administrative capacity needed to implement it.
He stressed that mutual respect and cooperation between political officeholders and career civil servants were essential to effective governance.
