ABIOLA AJIMOBI-AND- SEYI MAKINDE

Oyo State governor-elect, Seyi Makinde, has paid a courtesy visit to the incumbent governor, Abiola Ajimobi.

Makinde led his deputy, Rauf Olaniyan, and other members of his team on the courtesy call government house in Ibadan on Thursday.

On receiving them, Ajimobi advised Makinde to be wary of praise singers and run a government for all.

“You must beware of praise-singers and avoid acrimony. It is also better to leverage on relationships. I know you as a man of peace.

“You have started with a very good spirit. I want you to encourage inclusiveness and accommodate those you know can add value to your government and the state.

“It is good that we have moved the state to a civil level. We thank God that the electioneering campaign was devoid of disparaging comments and accusation.

“We have achieved, and may the Almighty God grant you the wisdom to also achieve the best. We want you to leverage on our achievement and improve upon those we are yet to achieve.

“The most paramount thing is to leverage on our achievement and we will support him to achieve. All we want is the development and progress of the state,” Ajimobi said.

Makinde, on his part, said his visit was necessary to gain from Ajimobi’s experience and seek his assistance for governance.

He promised to give his best at sustaining their shared vision toward a prosperous Oyo State where justice and equity prevail.

Among others in the governor-elect’s entourage were the Oyo PDP Chairman, Kunmi Mustapha; Director-General, Seyi Makinde Campaign Organisation, Bayo Lawal; Senator Hosea Agboola and Dotun Oyelade.
