Ahead of his of 55th birthday, the Governor of Ekiti State, Biodun Oyebanji, has revealed where friends, family and well-wishers who are planning to celebrate with him should take their gifts.
Oyebanji, who was sworn-in as governor few months ago will turn 55 on December 21, 2022
But in a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media, Mr. Yinka Oyebode, the Governor urged well wishers not to bring any birthday gift, publish newspaper advert or organise any gathering or party in commemoration of his birthday.
He said instead of advert placements anyone willing to celebrate with him should make donations to the less privileged children in the state.
He said such gifts and support should be channeled to schools for the physically challenged in the three senatorial districts of the state.
This, include School for the Deaf, Ikoro-Ekiti; School for the Blind, Ikere-Ekiti; and School for the Mentally and Physically Challenged, Ido-Ekiti.
Governor Oyebanji said said financial and material gifts sent to these schools by his friends and well-wishers would be a more appreciated birthday celebration for him, adding that the country is at a point where citizens should make deliberate efforts at reaching out to the less privileged.
