Daramola, a retired Permanent Secretary and a member of the State’s Executive Council, was until the new appointment, the Overseer of the Office of the SSG, a position he assumed following the resignation of Mr. Biodun Oyebanji as SSG in December 2021.

Ibitola, 39, formerly a Personal Assistant to the Governor, was until his elevation, the Deputy Chief of Staff to the Governor. He takes over from Mr. Biodun Omoleye, who recently resigned his appointment to pursue his political interest.

The governor wishes the two new appointees success in their new offices.

The former SSG, Oyebanji, is the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the June election while the former CoS, Omoleye, is vying for the Ekiti Central senatorial seat in 2023.
