A Prominent Islamic cleric, Sheikh Muhydeen Ajani Bello on Wednesday said nothing has changed in the state since the late former Governor Abiola Ajimobi left office in May 2019.
Sheikh Bello stated this while eulogising the late former governor at the maiden annual Ishaq Abiola Ajimobi memorial Ramadan lecture held at the Ishaq Abiola Ajimobi central mosque, Oke Bola in Ibadan.
The cleric said throughout the eight years tenure of late Ajimobi, Oyo state witnessed the needed peace and development unlike the present situation in the state
Sheikh Bello who was the guest lecturer at the memorial lecture with the topic “Nothing goes without reward from Almighty Allah”, “Nothing has changed. Nothing has changed in Ibadan. We cannot move freely anymore. People should fear God and obey the prophet. I am now telling you that it is what we do that people will say about us. Ajimobi build good legacies.”
Lamenting that it was unfortunate that people cannot move freely in the state especially in Ibadan as a result of security breaches, the Islamic cleric said most of the projects of the current government in the state were either done or initiated by late Senator Ajimobi.
Praising the late former governor of Oyo state for devoting his time for the development of Oyo state, the cleric stressed that the current government in the state is still claiming to be planning his own programmes.
“They are still planning, we have gone back to the era of planning. We cannot forget Lam Adesina and Ajimobi who have died,” he said.
Chairman of the occasion who doubled as Asiwaju Adini of Oyo state, Alhaji Mutiu Oladejo, earlier in his welcome address, declared that the vacuum left behind as a result of Senator Ajimobi’s death has not been filled by anyone.
