Outgoing governor of Oyo State and candidate of the All Progressives Congress for Oyo South senatorial district in the last election, Abiola Ajimobi, has declared that he was not feeling bad about election loss.
Ajimobi, despite being the incumbent governor, lost the election to Dr. Kola Balogun of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The governor spoke on Saturday at the grand finale of the 2019 Ibadan Cultural Festival and Awards ceremony organised by Central Council of Ibadan Indigenes (CCII).
The Sun quoted him saying, “Some people are saying Ibadan people did not vote for me. I said but they had voted for me three times before, which I won. That means 3-1. So, there should not be any cry about it”,
Ajimobi also spoke on the controversy trailing the origin of 2019 APC governorship aspirant, Olasunkanmi Tegbe.
“I am proud and happy to say that we’re brothers. This award has put to rest series of arguments over whether Tegbe is from Ibadan or elsewhere, they said the same thing about me.
“CCII has confirmed it with this indigenous award and I want to tell you that you lose something and at times you gain. Now, I am sure that Ibadan and Oyo State people will vote for Tegbe when next he stands for election”, he said.
