Oyo must not return to era of violence - UI VC tells Makinde - Daily Post Nigeria

State to do everything possible to prevent the state from slipping into the era of violence and brigandage that pervaded the state before Governor Abiola Ajimobi took over in 2011.

He said, “The point has been made by the organizers of this investiture that they were not looking for a saint. Nobody is a saint. So, Governor Ajimobi is also not a saint, but you cannot get anybody more deserving of this honour than the governor. “The very first function of any government is to ensure security of lives and property, and all of us will attest to the fact that he has achieved distinction in this department. So, we congratulate him on this achievement.

Ajimobi, who delivered a lecture, entitled “Peace and Security Architecture for Sustainable Development in Oyo State”, attributed the peace and security that reigned during his eight-year tenure to some drastic measures taken by his administration to put an end to the state of anarchy which he inherited in 2011.

He said: “When I came in 2011 and the leadership of NURTW came on a visit, saying ‘Your Excellency, we are for you’, I said No! Be for peace. If any of you breaks the law or foments trouble, he will face the full wrath of the law.
