Governor Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo State has been taken to the cleaners by Minister of Communications, Adebayo Shittu…
Adebayo Shittu
“I want to say that if anybody is desperate in the Oyo political firmament, it should be Governor Ajimobi, who believes that if Barrister Shittu succeeds him, he will be in jail. That is what he is reported to have always told people who mentioned me to him.”
“He thinks that I am too principled, firm, unbendable and uncompromising when it comes to the issues of morality. It is he who is desperate to stop me, not me being desperate to become governor.”
“The rules are clearly there and like somebody who believes in the rule as a lawyer and man of law and order, if I follow the rules to contest the primaries in a free, fair and credible poll and did not win, I will take up something else.”
“I am not desperate to become the governor of Oyo State. It is the other way round because the governor is desperate to stop me for whatever reason.”
“I can say straight away that I am like any other Nigerian that heard that a committee was constituted. No invitation was extended to me for any purpose of discussions, negotiations, reconciliations or whatever. Nobody can blame me for that. Ajimobi had failed in so many things including human relations and others I cannot say openly in the media”.
“Why is he afraid of going to jail if another Buhari like me comes to power in Oyo State? Why is he afraid of primaries?”
