2019 election: APC chieftain reveals why Ajimobi lost his senatorial election

- A chieftain of APC in Oyo state has revealed why Governor Abiola Ajimobi lost his senatorial election

- Kola Balogun, the candidate of PDP, had on Saturday, February 23, defeated Ajimobi, to win Oyo south senatorial election

- The party leader said that Ajimobi's arrogance was responsible for his loss at the poll

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo state has revealed why the incumbent governor of the state, Abiola Ajimobi, failed to win Oyo south senatorial election on Saturday, February 23.

Legit.ng regional reporter in Oyo, Khalid Imran, reports that the APC leader, who spoke under the condition of anonymity, said that Ajimobi's arrogance and reckless speeches were mainly responsible for the defeat he suffered from the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Kola Balogun.

The APC's chieftain said the party would have won the three senatorial seats at the upper chamber of the National Assembly, adding that the governor orchestrated his own defeat by arrogance.

The source said that out of three senatorial districts in Oyo state, APC won Oyo north and central senatorial districts while the other one was won by the PDP, adding that the party also won nine House of Representatives' seats out fourteen in the state.

He said Ajimobi's attitude and dictatorial tendencies in the state led to the break away of the group loyal to late Lam Adesina to join African Democratic Congress (ADC), adding that his omniscient and omnipotent attitude in the party and state had adversely affected the party.

On Ajimobi's administration, he described Ajimobi as brilliant performer and administrator per excellence whose assumption of office as the governor has changed the outlook of the state in all ramifications, adding that he was a square peg in a square hole when it comes to administration and practice of modern politics.

On the forthcoming governorship and state House of Assembly elections, the party chieftain said the damage had been done to the party following the dictatorial tendencies of the governor.

To rescue the party and ensure it wins the forthcoming governorship election, those that matter in the state and at national level had swung into action to ensure the party wins.

He said parts of the effort geared towards the winning of election was to reach out to all party's members and loyalists who had left for opposition parties to return to their mainstream.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng had previously reported that Governor Abiola Ajimobi's hope of becoming a senator to represent Oyo south senatorial district was dashed on Saturday, February 23.

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari. It is unarguable that the President arrays the most competence-challenged cabinet ever in the chronicle of governance in Nigeria. Yes, a recession cabinet. Fredrick Nwabufo Here is a cabin...
