He also expressed gratitude to God for the opportunity to serve the people of Ekiti State.
The governor assured the outgoing cabinet members that he would maintain contact with them despite the dissolution of the council.
In their separate remarks, the former cabinet members thanked Oyebanji for giving them the opportunity to serve the state.
The meeting featured prayers, praise songs, thanksgiving and the cutting of a valedictory cake.
Oyebanji, who won re-election in the June 20 governorship election, is scheduled to be sworn in for a second term on Friday, October 16, 2026.
