A veteran broadcaster and media consultant, Mrs Ronke Kolawole, has rallied support for Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji’s second term.

Speaking with newsmen shortly after a private tour of the facility in Ilawe Ekiti, Ekiti State, Kolawole, who is an indigene of the town, described the visible transformation that has taken place in the community as breathtaking.

She said the Ilawe Ekiti community has never had it so good as far as infrastructure and socio-economic development is concerned.

“These are real dividends of democracy at work. I’m impressed and proud to witness this breathtaking transformation that I have seen around here,” she said.

Kolawole, who, until recently, was the Deputy Director, News, at the Nigerian Television Authority, (NTA), said one of the marvel of Ilawe Ekiti is the new look General Hospital, which had, hitherto, been consigned to a mere consulting clinic because of its dilapidated state over the years.

“The facility can now boast of standard theatre with an aesthetic machine. A radiant warmer is also available for babies. Aside from totally rehabilitating all available wards, a new maternity ward was constructed with modern bed and mattresses,” she said.
