Your Excellence Ajimobi, let the Oyo State people assess your performance and say you left Oyo better than you met it. This self-examination is evil.

What Ajimobi did in Ibadan that made him one of the useless Governor ever had, same thing Ganduje is doing to Kano people. Hope they teach him a lesson sooner or later
Power without Control make a downfall of a King

“We have done entry and exit roads of Oyo State. All these areas we have covered in infrastructure, not only in terms of physical infrastructure but also in social infrastructure.
“In education, we have been able to establish what we call the School Governing Board, which is a participatory educational system, where everybody is participating.
“I must say UI also contributed by helping us in supervision, monitoring, and control, which has helped our quality of education.
“We have introduced health insurance scheme, built many hospitals and refurbished others.’’
