Ekiti State Deputy Governor, Chief (Mrs.) Monisade Afuye, has been honoured with the “Most Loyal Deputy Governor of the Year” award following her re-election alongside Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji.

Afuye received the Award of Honour on Thursday, August 27, 2026, in recognition of her loyalty, commitment and dedication to Governor Oyebanji throughout their first four-year tenure.

The award was presented to her by her Deputy Chief of Staff, Hon. Victor Adeniyi, on behalf of the management of the Organisation.

The recognition comes shortly after Oyebanji and Afuye emerged victorious in the recently concluded Ekiti State governorship election, making them the first governor and deputy governor in the state to secure re-election and prepare for a second term in office.

The organisation said the award was also in appreciation of Afuye’s steadfast support for the Governor and her contributions to the administration’s achievements and development of the state.

Oyebanji and Afuye are expected to be sworn in for their second term in October 2026.
