Governor Abiola Ajimobi yesterday promised to rebuild the demolished Music House owned by Dr Yinka Ayefele.
Ajimobi gave the assurance yesterday at the reception organized for the 90th birthday of the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Saliu Adetunji.
Music House, which houses Fresh FM, has been demolished last Sunday, a day to the commencement of court action, due to alleged contravention of building laws.
It generated criticisms from within and far.
Speaking on the criticisms that have continued to trail the demolition of the building, Ajimobi pledged the state government’s commitment to assist the renowned gospel singer in rebuilding the demolished building and also give necessary logistics, adding that Ayefele had held a peace talk with him while he visited him in his office.
Ajimobi notes that he would rebuild the structure because he does not want his political enemies to use that to attack his administration.
According to him, “I want to say that the imbroglio between the state government and Yinka Ayefele over the demolition of his Music House has been resolved. And I pledge the government’s commitment to assist him.”
Ajimobi would later explain that his government went against Ayefele for violating town planning law, insisting that the only way to avoid face-off with the law was for every citizen to be law-abiding.
