Governor Abiola Ajimobi has said that he is not the type that wants the downfall of people.
This, he said, is the reason why he has never written any petition against anybody. “If you steal what belongs to the people, if God did not reward you for your evil deeds, your children will pay for it.”
Ajimobi, who spoke at a grand reception organised by the apex umbrella body of all Ibadan socio-cultural groups, the Central Council of Ibadan Indigenes, CCII, and the inauguration of a multi-million naira central mosque he built to mark his 69th birthday, explained that “I want to beg all of us to please continue this tradition of celebrating one another. It is not because I am leaving office, but because our state must be developed.
“Oyo State is a state that is loved and blessed by God and we all must work for its uplift.
“We must not mock each other or work against anybody for selfish reason. I don’t want the downfall of anybody. What do I stand to gain if someone else’s fall?”
The governor also used the occasion to beg the political class and the people of the state for forgiveness for any errors he might have made as the state governor.
