How we brought peace, security to Oyo- Ajimobi
He made the disclosure on Thursday during a Public lecture and Fellowship Investiture organised by the Society for Peace Studies and Practice at the Subomi Balogun Conference Centre, University of Ibadan.
Ajimobi said that his administration on assumption of office in 2011 took the restoration of peace and security as a priority, adding that the state was before then known as a `garrison’. “We also set up Oyo State Safe City Project which allowed installation of surveillance camera,’’ he said. “When I came in 2011 and the leadership of NURTW visited me, they told me they were for me and I said no! I am for peace. I warned them not to foment any trouble or they would be arrested and jailed.
“I make bold to say that if peace is the only achievement people will remember this administration for, I am happy for it,’’ he said. “When Ajimobi assumed office as the governor, there were only two universities in Ibadan. Today, there are many universities as well as many businesses which are indicative of presence of peace and tranquility which lead to the growth of commerce,’’ he said.
