STILL basking in the euphoria of his victory at the Supreme Court, yesterday, Oyo State Governor, Senator Abiola Ajimobi, has called on his political advarseries to channel their energies to better and more productive ends in the interest of the development of the state.
Speaking through a press statement by Special Adviser, Communication and Strategy, Yomi Layinka, the governor thanked God and the good of Oyo State for their steadfastness to the collective vision of a renewed and sustainable state.
Governor Ajimobi also hailed the judiciary for their sustained efforts at offering hope to all citizens and justice to all, without let or hindrance.
He said, “Now that their fight is exhausted and their wind vanes broken, we hope Senator Rashidi Ladoja and his band will henceforth turn their energies to better and more productive ends in the interest of our dear state and its development.
“At last the Supreme Court has graciously freed the people of Oyo State from the painful distractions mounted on their path by Senator Rashidi Ladoja and his Accord Party in the past many months.
“Now that the distractions are out of the way, the good works will continue in earnest. I thank the people of the state for their support and resilience over the years and I promise to redouble my efforts at taking the state to greater height.
“I’m using this opportunity to call on my brother, Senator Rasheed Ladoja and others still in the opposition to join hands with us and take our state to another level that will be different from a village.
“Thank God Senator Ladoja is moving closer to the Olubadan throne now. Let them make him Olubadan so that he will stop all this political fight. God has destined me to spend eight years as the governor of Oyo State by the popular mandate of the people. I thank the people of Oyo State for their steadfastness. It’s victory for all of us.”
