The forum stated that its members had resolved to deploy their wealth of legislative and governance experience to provide advisory support and strategic insights aimed at enhancing effective service delivery at all levels of government.
It also pledged to mobilise grassroots support for Oyebanji’s re-election bid, noting that his administration had demonstrated commitment to the development and progress of Ekiti State.
On national issues, the forum aligned with calls for the constitutional entrenchment of rotational presidency between Northern and Southern Nigeria, stressing that the presidency should remain in the South to complete an implied eight-year tenure.
It consequently endorsed President Tinubu for a second term, commending his reform-driven leadership and the impact of his policies on economic revitalisation, education and national stability.
