MAKINDE TACKLES AJIMOBI ON FRESH FM AGAIN

Seyi Makinde in a statement released during the sallah celebrations disagreed with Governor Abiola Ajimobi stating that his government does not always obey the rules of law.

The politician said the present Oyo State government is known to serially disobey court rulings even on critical issues that do not favour him citing the Oyo High court ruling to halt the demolition of the Fresh FM building as the latest example.

Makinde made mockery of the Governor’s remark that Oyo State is not an Animal Farm saying the demolition of the radio station is a good example of a kingdom where some animals are more privileged than the others.
