A group, the Patriotic Forum, Oyo State chapter,
has advised the state governor, Senator Abiola Ajimobi, to be wary of
issues that contributed to the rejection of his predecessor, Chief
Adebayo Alao-Akala, by the people of the state.
The group made the call in a statement signed by its Secretary, Mr. Jide Ajao, at the end of its May monthly meeting, a copy of which was made available to our correspondent in Ibadan, the state capital, on Wednesday.
The forum specifically asked Ajimobi not to interfere in the politics of the state council of the National Union of Road Transport Workers as allegedly done by Alao-Akala while in power.
It also advised the governor to give due respect and recognition to the traditional institution.
The communiqué read, “The Forum advises that as a priority, the new governor should improve on the deteriorating health and education sectors; constitute laudable employment programmes and ameliorate the long abandoned agricultural development.
“He should also return rural road maintenance to the good old days of Public Works Department.
“The governor should form a government of unity and should not neglect in any form but to carry along other political parties that contended with him.
“All other members of his political party or groups that in one form or the other worked towards the success of the party at the polls should not be sidelined.”
The forum also asked Ajimobi to ensure that he remained a listening governor throughout his tenure.
