Former Secretary to Oyo State Government, Barrister Sarafadeen Abiodun Alli, on Thursday declared that governor Abiola Ajimobi and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), in the state have failed to meet the yearnings and expectations of the people.
Alli said Ajimobi failed to rescue the state from the present socio-economic challenges as he promised in 2011 and 2015.
He made this declaration while addressing journalists shortly after he picked the gubernatorial expression of interest and nomination forms of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), in Ibadan, the state capital on Thursday.
Alli while insisting that “Ajimobi, APC have certainly failed the people of Oyo state in the areas of education, health among others”, however promised to create wealth and ensure greater prosperity of the 42- year-old Pace Setters state from 2019.
He, therefore, assured people of the state that their confidence in him would not be taken for granted if given the chance to fly the party’s ticket and win the 2019 gubernatorial race.
His words, “Ajimobi, APC have certainly failed the people of Oyo state. Certainly, they have failed. This government has failed. They have failed woefully. But, I can tell you that this party, ADC is a government in waiting in Oyo State. They have failed woefully.
“It is not all about the party but about the people. You can see that this party is relatively new in Oyo state but look at the crowd out there, that shown that the party is accepted. It is because of the kind of people that are here. Majority of APC, the Unity Forum are here, the Ladoja PDP, the old ADC, CNM and the Labour party are here.
