Outgoing Governor of Oyo State, Abiola Ajimobi, has said that he is ready to have his administration probed by governor-elect, Seyi Makinde.

Ajimobi said this on Thursday at the Public Lecture and Fellowship Investiture organised by the Society for Peace Studies and Practice at Subomi Balogun Conference Centre, University of Ibadan.

Makinde has since threatened to launch a probe on Ajimobi’s administration following allegations of illegal awards of contracts, money laundering and last-minute employments.

“We will work till the last day of this administration. We don’t care about what some people are saying all about,” Ajimobi said.

“As I am talking to you today, this administration still has 18 days and some hours to expire.

“When they get there, let them cancel all the contracts we have signed. Let them investigate us and if we have stolen, they should arrest us.”

The event was attended by members of the State Executive Council and some heads of security agencies.

The governor continued: “We have given our best to the state and we will continue to do this.

“The feats recorded by our administration placed Oyo as one of the five safest haven of investment in the country.

“We are also the fourth investment friendly state in Nigeria according to the Nigerian Bureau of Statistics, with a four star rating for investment friendliness by the Nigerian Export Promotions Commission.”
