Ajimobi commends Seyi Makinde of his noble character as he visits Government house

Oyo State Governor, Senator Abiola Ajimobi, has commended the effort of the incoming governor Mr Seyi Makinde, towards sustaining peace and unity after the just concluded election.

Ajimobi who disclosed this during Makinde’s courtesy visit to him at the Government House, Agodi, Ibadan, on Thursday, said the Governor- Elect had demonstrated that he was of noble character,

and that his action was an indication that the interest of the state was paramount to him.

Ajimobi said “I congratulate you on the opportunity nature has given you to serve humanity. I commend your noble move which is different from the past when after someone loses an election, they will start making troubles and abusing each other.

“I am so happy that we are moving this state to a high level. Our own was relatively peaceful and for you to say you want to come and greet me, it is a departure from the past. For me, we must continue on this path.

“The peace and security that we have established must be sustained and I know you as a man of peace who is not criminally inclined. I commend you for coming and for me it is a reflection of your kind of person. You are of noble character.

 “We will be available to you should you need our advice. You should look at the areas we have done well and sustain it and in the areas we have not, please adjust it. We have always been brothers and I believe you deserve it. We should sustain this spirit we have started with.

In his address, Makinde said “The visit is to see you firsthand since the end of the election. We will require your help. Electioneering is over and certain things that we might have said were just for the campaign talks, but now is the time to face reality.

“You have done your own part. Our state is dear to all of us and we shall share your vision like I had said in one of our numerous interactions before the elections. We want to work together with you iand make sure that the transition is as smooth as possible.”

With the governor during the visit are his Deputy, Chief Moses Adeyemo; Secretary to the State Government, Mr Lekan Alli, among other members of the State Executive Council.
