Ekiti State Governor, Mr Biodun Oyebanji, has dissolved his cabinet, retaining the Chief Press Secretary, Mr Yinka Oyebode, and the Chief of Staff, Mr Adeniyi Adebayo, in their respective positions.

The development marks a significant administrative decision by the governor as his administration prepares for a new phase of governance ahead of his second term inauguration scheduled for October 16, 2026.
