The lawmaker who wondered why the situation degenerated this far said the people at the forefront of the agitation are probably not student of any institution.

Going further, the lawmaker added that the 'people' fighting him have not even come to meet him to discuss about the situation. He said if they truly needed a bus, they are free to come and make a request and if he could afford it, he would get it for them.

On the issue of him retrieving the bus from them because he lost the election, the lawmaker denied the allegation and said that he would not be the first person to lose an election.

He also wondered how the student body population could have won him an election when most of them are not resident of Ogbomoso and its environs.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng had reported that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Oyo state has accused Governor Abiola Ajimobi of siphoning the state fund by awarding projects of about N50 billion in the last two months.
