| Governor Abiola Ajimobi |
Governor Abiola Ajimobi today asked the Minister
of state for FCT, Olajumoke Akinjide to forget her governorship ambition until
finishes his second term in Office.
The political rivalry was rekindled at the book
launch of Alaafin of Oyo, Lamidi Adeyemi in Ibadan
Chief Olajumoke Akinjide, represented President
Goodluck Jonathan at the event
Governor Ajimobi, who spoke against the
background of the speculated governorship ambition of Akinjide in 2015, will be
64 in December, while the minister will turn 54 in August this year.
Ajimobi said “If it is by four years that I am
older than you, then you will become the governor of Oyo State after my
four-year tenure. But if it is by eight years, then you will become the
governor after my eight years in office.”
The event turned political when Governor Ajimobi
arrived Wallan Hotel hall, venue of the event, cheered by well-mobilised
supporters of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), who chorused he should
continue in office in 2015.
In an address, Governor Ajimobi commended
Akinjide for the mature manner she played her politics, praying God to give her
a higher position after her tenure as minister.
The governor said he was an apostle of politics
without violence and told his supporters that he was not at the occasion for
politics but to join other to honour the Alaafin and authors of the book
written in his honour.
