Abiola Ajimobi, governor of Oyo
state, says he is ready for a probe of his administration.
He spoke on Thursday at a public
lecture and fellowship investiture organised by Society for Peace Studies and
Practice at the Subomi Balogun Conference Centre, University of Ibadan.
The event was attended by members
of the state executive council and some heads of security agencies.
“We will work till the last day
of this administration. We don’t care about what some people are saying all
about… As I am talking to you today, this administration still has 18 days and
some hours to expire,” he said.
“When they get there, let them
cancel all the contracts we have signed. Let them investigate us and if we have
stolen, they should arrest us.”
In March, Seyi Makinde, the
incoming governor, accused Ajimobi of awarding N30 billion worth of contracts
in a single day.
He vowed to review all the
contracts signed by the outgoing governor when he takes over.
But Ajimobi told his audience at
Thursday’s programme that the achievements of his administration were anchored
on a pyramid of development which included restoration, transformation and
repositioning.
He said the pyramid of
development gave birth to a new wave of developmental strides in education that
led to the establishment of school’s governing board among other programmes.
“The SGB model led to a
significant improvement in public schools students’ performance in public
examinations. Today, we can boast of the best results in WASSCE in the last 18
years,’’ he said.
The governor said his
administration also recorded giant strides in infrastructure, agriculture,
health, industrialisation, technology and culture, adding that such would make
his administration a “historical corner piece” for future reference in
governance.
“We have given our best to the
state and we will continue to do this. The feats recorded by our administration
placed Oyo as one of the five safest havens of investment in the country,” he
said.
“We are also the fourth
investment-friendly state in Nigeria according to the Nigerian Bureau of
Statistics; with a four-star rating for investment friendliness by the Nigerian
Export Promotions Commission.”
