A group, Ajimobi Forum for Good Governance(AFOGG) has appealed to the Oyo State Governor, Senator Abiola Ajimobi to ensure a credible candidate emerges as candidate for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) at the 2019 governorship election.
The group made the call in a statement signed by its Coordinator, Mr Dauda Kolawole and made available to newsmen in Ibadan.
The group said it was imperative to make the call, considering the rate at which people of different shades and characters indicated interest in the job on daily basis.
It stated that the Governor needed to settle for somebody who shared his dreams and vision for the state in order to sustain the good work he started.
According to the statement, “The tripod programme of transformation, restoration and repositioning of the Senator Ajimobi administration has succeeded in restoring the pacesetter status of the state.
“The unprecedented human capital and infrastructural development witnessed in the last six and a half years in the state has upped the ante of governance and re-awakened our consciousness.
“The Ajimobi phenomenon has redefined governance and raised it from its hitherto pedestrian level. The Governor needs to work assiduously to hand over the mantle to a visionary successor who will not draw the state backward,” it said.
The group contended that the Governor was divinely installed to bring the desired change for an enduring foundation for the progress, peace and stability of the state.
The statement added that “Ajimobi has successfully achieved tremendous feat. This is why he must ensure a successor that will continue the good work in the overall interest of the state.
“Oyo State needs an enlightened administrator who will take it to the next level, not any reactionary element that will take the state back to its inglorious past.” The statement concluded.
