Supreme Court judgement: No victor , no vanquished – Ajimobi declares
Oyo State Governor, Senator Abiola Ajimobi, has called on politicians across party divides to see the last Supreme Court judgment validating his election as victory for democracy and development, insisting that there is ‘no victor, no vanquished.’
The governor said this while playing host to members of Olubadan-in-council who paid a solidarity visit to his office, on Wednesday.
He pledged his administration’s commitment to further embark upon people-oriented projects that would better the lot of the people of the state.
He commended members of the Olubadan-in-council, led by the Otun Olubadan, High Chief Lekan Balogun for the solidarity visit, describing it as very inspiring and encouraging.
“It is the first time that the entire Olubadan-in-council will be coming to perform such felicitation and to rejoice with us. You have not seen anything yet, we will do more.
“I want to assure all stakeholders that in that judgment of the Supreme Court there is no victor, no vanquished. All of us must come together to promote Oyo State, including Ibadan, the state capital.”
Earlier in his remark, the Otun Olubadan described the apex court judgment as a divine intervention and pledged the support of the council for the Ajimobi-led administration. Commending the numerous achievements of the governor in his first term, he advised him not to rest on his laurels in his efforts to further reposition the state and enhance its fortunes.
The visitors also thanked the governor for the pomp and pageantry that had so far trailed the funeral ceremonies of the Olubadan, which began last Friday.
He said, “We are here to felicitate with your Excellency on the recent judicial victory and we wish you the best of luck in piloting the affairs of the State.
“We appreciate the fact that God chose an Ibadan man to be the governor of Oyo state at this crucial time. We pledge our support for your administration.”
Other members of the council on the entourage included the Ashipa Olubadan, High Chief Eddy Oyewole; Otun-Balogun Olubadan, High Chief Olalekan Olakuleyin; Osi-Balogun, High Chief Olufemi Olaifa; Ekerin Olubadan, High Chief Abiodun Daisi; Ashipa-Balogun Olubadan, High Chief Tajudeen Ajibola; and Iyalode of Ibadanland, Alhaja Aminat Abiodun.
