IBADAN — GOVERNOR Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo State yesterday admitted that the state was a difficult one to govern.

He said it is the state that harbours “largest party of lies” and a place where you help one person and the remaining nine are offended.

He said this at the inter-religious prayer session held to usher in Year 2013 at the Governor’s Office Car Park, Secretariat, Ibadan.

“It is difficult for someone to rule this state. It is in Oyo State that you have the largest party of lies. No matter how good you are, you will have enemies and friends”, the governor explained.

He added that as nobody is perfect, his government has its own faults but all of them are done in good faith.

The prayer which was well attended by politicians, civil servants, and many other notable people in the state also served as beacon of hope for workers as the governor said many times that it would be a “pay back year” for the workers.

He commended them for absorbing all the challenges, pressures and “tsunami of change” that his administration introduced to make them better.

Ajimobi said: “For you to have been able to withstand the pressure that we have brought to bear on you; for you to have survived our shocking treatment and the pyramid of checks and balances, rest assured that this year is your year of reward.

“We have demanded a lot from you and you have given us; and for those of you who have survived the tsunami of change which was aimed at instilling discipline in the system and making the civil service service-oriented, you will be adequately compensated,” he promised.

While giving glory to God for being with his administration, the civil servants and the entire people of the state, Governor Ajimobi said but for God, his efforts at transforming and repositioning the state would have been insignificant.

The head of of the religious service, Alhaji Tajudeen Aremu had earlier in his welcome address urged civil servants to key into the blueprint of the government for the successful implementation of Ajimobi’s laudable programmes.

This happens in any setting where there is some form of leadership. You can not please anyone sir; you just have to do your best in favor of the majority.

Besides why would you help just one in ten persons?

Leadership has never been an easy task.

Oyo bere inu e loso

Imagine governing a state with millions of dayokanus.
Ain't that hell?

Its not by force to rule. He should step down if the job is too tedious for him...what's the essence of ranting, when he can easily throw in the towel?

I hate hypocrites.

same thing Rochas said about Imo.
I think Nigerians in general are difficult to govern

Oyo is a very special place. The only state in nigeria that has never been ruled twice by one governor. Anambra used to be second place on that list until peter obi broke the jinx.

I wonder if he will get a second term. Very unlikely though if you check history for one man to hold Ibadan for two terms. Check from bola ige, olunloyo, ishola, Lam Adesina or Alao-Akala. All had one term. Part military intervention part electorate

you cant compare any city in Nigeria to Oyo.....premier city and only city in. West Africa where an indigenous imperial crown still reigns. there is no other city or indigenous african seat of political power with such lasting history and longevity as Oyo. who is Imo?

The guy should just quit instead of complaining. Empty barrel

don't u know b4 contesting? Silly excuse 4 non-performance.

Ajimobi u beta get to work fa! what is wrong with u ke? abi e ma gbo bobo yi? so what if Adedibu was still alive to give you hell, you would have run away from govt house already. even Lagos is tougher to govern than Oyo, u better go and learn from Fashola's school of governance, even Rochas attended that same school. don't make me angry abeg.

But looting money and ur wife looting too is easy?

Tinubu did the rough work for Fashola. Ajimobi is starting from the scratch.

omenziate: But looting money and ur wife looting too is easy?

This man is gradually becoming one of the None-Performing Governor to rule Oyo State.

Resign or step down for BOLD and Matured one, Na only to use his wife for money Launder is not difficult. ODE MUMU GOVERNOR.

if oyo is difficult to govern, then resign, let those who knows how to govern do it.
this is what happens when people with no knowledge of governance enter politics, honestly there are governors who would be better off selling electronics in alaba.

Was he expecting an easy ride Was he expecting an easy ride

I remember reading an interview of Sen Ajimobi in d Nation newspapers in 2009. He hurled all sorts of insults on Akala's govt nd ended up calling him a failure dat knows next to nothing abt governance(calling Oyo d refuse headqtrs of d world). Now dat he is there, he is seeing things differently.
Moral of ds story; ppl climb to power in Nigeria by criticising d govt vehemently, thereby making d populace overlook their shortcomings. Remember to ask d present govt 'career' arm chair critics how they intend to do things 'realisticALLY' different

If the state is difficult for him to govern, what is he waiting for? He should resign.

Make he resign jere

Crazyman indeed....ur username says it all about u

Is Ajimobi a previously shoeless boy from Otuoke?
Is he a member of PDP??
Is he "clueless"?
Is he a "retardeen"?

What is the difference between

a) six
b) half a dozen

2015 - Next level democracy!!!
Have you identified and checked out candidates for the next LG councillor & chairman; state assembly & federal representative & senator plus governor & presidential elections

Ajimobi is gradually setting things straight in oyo though, with the massive clean up of the environment, but he's doing some things I don't understand like the dualization of jerico road, I think dts just wanton waste of resources, its really annoying to see ppl's property destroyed 4 no reason.
