The immediate past governor of Oyo State, Abiola Ajimobi, on advised the local government chairmen in the statet to continue to pursue justice against their sack Seyi Makinde-led government.
Ajimobi made this known at the Ibadan Civic Centre, Idi-Ape at an event organised for him by the the family of Bashorun of Ibadanland, Chief Kola Daisi, whose son got married to Ajimobi’s daughter.
In his address on the occasion, Ajimobi, who thanked the people of Oyo State for giving him the opportunity to serve for eight years, noted that the litigation instituted by the Association of Local Government Chairmen (ALGON), Oyo State chapter, under the leadership of Prince Ayodeji Abass-Aleshinloye, against Governor Seyi Makinde, for sacking them, is in order, saying the law is on the side of the embattled chairmen.
Ajimobi, who said he chose to be silent on the issue because “silence is golden at a time like this,” enjoined the embattled chairmen to continue to fight for their rights, and he prayed that God would make them to be successful.
He also advised the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) during the 2019 general elections, Chief Adebayo Adelabu, who lost to Mr. Seyi Makinde, of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), to take stock of what led to his defeat and take corrective steps to redress them so that he would have opportunity to become governor in the state in the future.
