Oyo State Deputy Governor, Engr. Remi Olaniyan, has brushed aside Mrs Florence Ajimobi’s outburst against him during her husband’s death and funeral, saying she only spoke and acted out of grief which should not be regarded as an offence.
Asked if Mrs Ajimobi has called to mend their relationship based on the widow’s outburst against him during his visit, Olaniyan said: “Mrs Ajimobi did not offend me in the first place. She was grieving at the time and, in that state, could do anything that is considered abnormal. So, I understand fully. I did not feel offended by the two incidents.”
On the burial day, Olaniyan’s delegation was also denied access to the building. The security at the gate told him that the gate key was with Mrs Ajimobi who was at the funeral site.Recalling how he handled second incident, he said: “When I saw the behaviour of the men around the house that day, I told my security aides that nobody must touch anybody. I said they must keep their heads when others are losing theirs. We must keep our omoluwabi ethos in all situations.
The deputy governor also explained that the current administration in Oyo State would continue to work for the interest of the populace in spite of being labelled as a populist government.
