Governor Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo State has advised the state’s Governor-Elect, Mr. Seyi Makinde, to learn from the good things his government has done in the eight years of reign.
The governor gave the warning Monday night when speaking with journalists on developments in the state.
Ajimobi said although his administration might have done some things that might not be good enough, the good things it did outweighed the bad ones.
He said Makinde should improve on the good ones and adjust on the bad ones.
His words: “Even if we have done bad things in some areas, we have done many good things that outweighed those supposed bad things.
“The fact that we lost in the election does not mean we should throw away the baby with the bath water.
“I think there are good things he can learn from us and good things we will be ready to give him to take from. And for the bad ones, let him adjust and improve on them.”
The governor also spoke on the violence in the state which claimed the life of a member of the House of Representatives, Temitope Olatoye (ADP – Akinyele/Lagelu).
He warned that his administration would not condone the return of brigandage.
“This administration’s tenure ends on May 29. Between now and that time, we will ensure peace and tranquility which is the hallmark of our administration.
“It was eight years of peace, security, safety and development. We won’t allow Oyo State return to the days of brigandage. This is antithetical to development,” he said.
The governor congratulated those who won in the election.
He however said anyone who might feel cheated had the opportunity of going to court to seek redress.
