Loatsad Promomedia Limited is believed to be owned by Seyi Tinubi, scion of the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu.
However, speaking on the increasing insecurity in Ekiti, Oyebanji, has called for more military presence and investment in the state as a way of enhancing security and socio-economic development of the state.
Oyebanji made this request in separate meetings with the Chief of Airforce, Air Marshal Isiaka Oladayo Amao and the Chief of Defence Staff, General Lucky Irabor at the Defence Headquarters, Abuja on Wednesday.
The governor specifically requested the support of the Nigeria Airforce for the state's agro allied international cargo airport that was recently commissioned, and urged the Nigeria Airforce to make available the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) for full- fledged air operations at the Ekiti airport.
