His deputy, Chief Monisade Afuye, took her oaths earlier at 1:28 pm. The ceremony was officiated by Justice Lekan Ogunmoye, the Chief Judge of Ekiti State.

The event was attended by numerous dignitaries, including Vice President Kashim Shettima, Senate President Godswill Akpabio, and various former governors and leaders from the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The ceremony was witnessed by a large crowd of political supporters and dignitaries.
