Gov. Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo State
has admonished Mr Seyi Makinde, the governor-elect to be wary of praise
singers, avoid acrimony and make frantic effort to leverage on relationships.
The governor gave the advice when
he received Makinde, of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), on Thursday at the
government house in Ibadan.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN)
reports that the governor-elect led his deputy, Mr Rauf Olaniyan, and several
other members of his team on the courtesy call.
Ajimobi, of the All Progressives
Congress, urged the governor-elect to leverage on his relationships, commending
him for his noble move.
“You must beware of
praise-singers and avoid acrimony. It is also better to leverage on
relationships. I know you as a man of peace.
“You have started with a very
good spirit. I want you to encourage inclusiveness and accommodate those you
know can add value to your government and the state,” he said.
Ajimobi commended Makinde for
initiating the noble gesture of visiting, imploring him to form an
all-inclusive government with quality people.
The governor urged him to
accommodate other people in the state that could add value, rather than party
members alone.
Ajimobi assured Makinde of his
readiness to render useful advice and support to him when necessary.
“It is good that we have moved
the state to a civil level. We thank God that the electioneering campaign was
devoid of disparaging comments and accusation.
“We have achieved, and may the
Almighty God grant you the wisdom to also achieve the best. We want you to
leverage on our achievement and improve upon those we are yet to achieve.
“The most paramount thing is to
leverage on our achievement and we will support him to achieve. All we want is
the development and progress of the state,” he said.
Earlier, Makinde said his visit
was necessary to tap from the governor’s wealth of experience and seek his assistance
for the serious work of governance
He promised to give his best at
sustaining their shared vision toward a prosperous Oyo State where justice and
equity prevail.
“Our state is dear to us all. You
have done your part and done your best. We will still continue to relate very
well towards building a state where fairness and equity will prevail,” he said.
Among others in the
governor-elect’s entourage were Alhaji Kunmi Mustapha, the PDP Chairman; Chief
Bayo Lawal, Director-General, Seyi Makinde Campaign Organisation; Sen. Hosea
Agboola and Prince Dotun Oyelade.
