The speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Aminu Waziri Tambuwal and the chancellor of the first private university in Nigeria, Igbinedion University, Okada, Edo State, Sir Gabriel Igbinedion, have expressed their support for the second term ambition of the Oyo State governor, Senator Abiola Ajimobi.
The duo who spoke at two separate events in the state capital, Ibadan at the weekend showered encomiums on Governor Ajimobi, asking the electorate to give him a second term.
The governor’s special adviser on media, Dr Festus Adedayo said in a statement in Ibadan yesterday that Tambuwal, who was speaking at an empowerment programme organised by a member of the House of Representatives, Hon. Saheed Fijabi, commended the governor for what he called his brilliant performance and monumental achievements in the state, in spite of the differences in the political affiliations of the people, stating that political affiliations should not be a yardstick for determining good governance.
“I want to appreciate Governor Abiola Ajimobi for his wonderful performance in Oyo State. I have always said this and will keep on saying it that whenever and wherever you identify good leaders who are doing well, you must continue to acknowledge them and commend them for their good works.
“Notwithstanding the political affiliations and political party differences of the people of Oyo State, Governor Ajimobi has continued to meet the need of the people,’’ he remarked.
According to the speaker, since not all Nigerians belong to the same political party, politicians and political office holders should deliver good governance to the people.He noted that the House of Representatives had on many occasions played down political affiliations.
