The Minister of Youth and Sports development, Mr. Sunday Dare, has described the late governor of Oyo State, Abiola Ajimobi, as a committed progressive who set the State on the path of modern development.
“Governor Ajimobi was undoubtedly a core progressive in words and deeds. While in office, he chose the road less travelled; one that set Oyo State on the path of progressive development. Now, many people know better. The difference is clear. He was undeterred, focused and committed to expanding the frontiers of good governance.”
According to the minister, the people of Oyo State will remain appreciative of the leadership and stewardship of the former governor, Ajimobi, particularly in the area of security and infrastructural development.
“Ajimobi’s people-orientation and devotion saw him working not only to create a safe and conducive environment for businesses, individual enterprise and political activities but also made Oyo state attractive and relevant”
The minister urged APC members in Oyo State to close ranks and organize to deliver the people from the current government – which he described as retrogressive – into the hands of progressive governance, one which late governor Ajimobi birthed in the State.
