Oyo State Governor, Senator Abiola Ajimobi, has condemned the pockets of violence that characterized Saturday’s election, which led to the death of a member of the House of Representatives, Hon. Temitope Olatoye, and others, as highly depressing and regrettable.

This is as Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in the state, Seyi Makinde, has maintained lead in the election.
In a statement by his Special Adviser, Communication and Strategy, Mr Bolaji Tunji, on Sunday, the governor said he was saddened by the turn of events, which he said was antithetical to the pervading peace in the state.

He said that the desperation and do-or-die that attended the election was uncalled for since the candidates in the governorship and Assembly election were in the race to serve the people and not themselves.

Commiserating with the families of Olatoye and others who reportedly lost their lives in the election, the governor assured the citizens that the perpetrators would be brought to justice irrespective of their political affiliation and status.

The governor warned that the state government would not allow any individual or group to truncate the had-fought peace and security that the state had enjoyed in the last eight years.

Ajimobi said, “I’m greatly saddened by the pockets of violence that attended yesterday’s (Saturday) election; although the circumstances surrounding the violence and loss of lives are still hazy. It is heartrending that Hon Olatoye and others had to die because of election.

“Nobody’s ambition should be worth the blood or life of any citizen. I’m, therefore, appalled that some unscrupulous politicians and their followers have turned this contest into a do-or-die affair, which is alien to democratic norms in saner climes.

“We struggled hard for this democracy, and for it to be entrenched we must eschew every act of bitterness, desperation and foul play during elections. In life, you win some contests and you lose some. If we imbibe this philosophy, we will take every victory and defeat with equal measure of equanimity.

“I have been in regular touch with all the security agencies since yesterday and they have assured me that the situation had been brought under control. May I use this opportunity to implore them to redouble their efforts and ensure the safety of lives and property going forward.”

The governor condoled with the families of Olatoye and others that lost their lives to Saturday’s skirmishes and prayed for the repose of their soul.

Ajimobi enjoined citizens of the state to be law abiding and to go about their lawful activities without fear of molestation, warning those spreading rumours of renewed violence within the city to desist from such unpatriotic act.

After 22 LGs, PDP Well-Placed For Victory Over APC In Oyo Gov Race

We in Oyo state don't follow the dictates of one landlord in Lagos
We refuse to be a subject to him

Ok

Ajimobi ended thuggery and maintained peace in Oyo State. He achieved that amongst other things. Seyi Makinde's thug, auxiliary and some others have started causing problems in Oyo State even before they are sworn in.

Soon you will all realise that an arrogant and prideful but achieving Ajimobi is better than this coalition headed by Ladoja.

Chai, nawao

end of a dynasty.

2023 is that of Tinubu.(if the world hasn't come to an end)

This man should just constitutedly shut up

Ajimobi has also become politically useless.

He cannot play any role in the federal government if APC intends to exert some influence in Oyo state.

Where is that his pampered and spoiled daughter who said the Lautech students have no respect for talking to her father like that?

Both father and daughter can now go and earn respect as regular citizens do, away from the Senate and away from Oyo government and politics.

Oyo state would jail him for building a refinery in Lebanon, instead of oyo state. That's the way they've been stealing the people's money since 1960. His in law, grandollar is also leaving the government and no Jupiter can say otherwise. Awon ole
