Popular gospel musician, Dr Yinka Ayefele whose building was demolished last Sunday and the Oyo State commissioner for information, culture and tourism, Mr Toye Arulogun exchanged words yesterday during the second round of the peace meeting initiated by a top governorship aspirant on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
The first meeting had ended peacefully while the duo were left to hold the second layer of the meeting.
Ayefele became angry when Arulogun requested the management of Fresh F.M to be part of the “action plan” to redeem his image, that of the governor and the APC as part of the resolution of the matter.
An infuriated Ayefele was said to have rejected the request, saying Fresh F.M did not create the image problem and would not be part of its redemption.
Ayefele, the source said, wondered why the commissioner would be concerned about his image without considering the effect of the colossal loss to him and his staff.
He specifically accused Arulogun of goading the governor to carry out the demolition, instead of deploying his capacity to prevent demolition and the crisis that followed.
It was, however, unanimously agreed that hostilities and social media war between both the government and the radio station should end.
With the governor and Ayefele at the meeting were the Information Commissioner, Toye Arulogun; KPMG senior partner, Tegbe; the Director, Corporate Affairs of Yinka Ayefele Nigeria Limited, Mr David Ajiboye; anchor of Fresh F.M’s Political Circuit, Mr Isaac Brown, and others.
