A University don, Prof. Joseph Olowofela, has said the feat by Oyo State Governor Abiola Ajimobi of being the first governor to be re-elected in the state can not be erased.
Olowofela, who was the immediate past chairman of Ido Local Government Area, said he was convinced that Ajimobi was the true winner of April 11 governorship election.
He added that the petition by the Accord Party candidate, Rashidi Ladoja, challenging his victory at tribunal was an effort in futility.
He said: “According to a legal parlance that something cannot stand on nothing. Though I am not the judge, but from my observation during the election, Ajimobi won that election clearly.
“Therefore, Ladoja taking Ajimobi to court is an exercise in futility and as a result, Ajimobi will remain the governor in the state till 2019.”
Olowofela, who compared Ajimobi to his predecessors said: “Ajimobi is a planner, manager of resources and courageous. On the account of this, he is also a go-getter, who believes he can turn Nigeria to become a better place by starting with Oyo State”.
