David Ajiboye, the media aide to
popular Juju musician, Yinka Ayefele, has said that the planned demolition of
the edifice which houses his principal’s radio station, Fresh FM, and music
studio in Oyo state was politically motivated.
Ajibola stated this while
addressing journalists in Ibadan on Friday.
Earlier this week, it was
reported that the property owned by Ayefele, which is estimated at over N800m
was going to be demolished by the Oyo State government.
However Ajibola said: “We don’t
see it as a threat; instead we see it as a challenge because the planned
demolition of the music house is politically motivated.
“When the governor visited the
studio in 2016, he said people told him to demolish the building because
Ayefele was not in his camp. The building was approved in June 2008 as a
business premise; that is over 10 years ago,” he said.
He also quoted verbatim the
statement made by Ajimobi when he visited the studio in October 2016: “I want
to use this opportunity to thank God for the ability to be here because when we
contested the first time and won, a lot of people came to meet me to destroy
the music house because Ayefele is not for us and he is always using songs to
insult us. But I didn’t see any reason why I should demolish it because I felt
if Ayefele is not for us now, he may be for us later.
“I am happy today that Ayefele is
beside me now and I pray that the business will keep flourishing and this is
the best studio I have seen in Oyo State.”
