The party also commended the governor for the outstanding leadership quality which he had demonstrated in the running of the affairs of the state.
The APC National Vice-Chairman, South-West, Chief Pius Akinyelure made the remarks when he led leaders of the zone on a courtesy visit to the governor in his office in Ibadan on Tuesday.
Akinyelure particularly acknowledged the various laudable achievements of Governor Ajimobi as well as his unwavering commitment to the growth and development of the state and its people.
“Certainly, no governor had done what you have done since you came in. You have particularly excelled in the area of exceptional leadership. You have demonstrated that you are very close to your people.
“I was here during the last Ramadan and I witnessed the breaking of fast during which no fewer than 2,500 people were fed daily throughout the period. This is an evidence of your large heartedness and care for the people of Oyo State,’’ he said.
The APC leader further noted that there had been tremendous improvement in the provision of social infrastructure since the inception of the Ajimobi administration.
“Under your leadership, the roads are better; communication has improved; education has also received a boost; children are now going to school in free buses; several markets have been built to cater for the traders removed from the streets while health care delivery has never remained the same again,’’ he remarked.
Responding, Governor Ajimobi said that his administration had continued to make life worth living for the people of the state through his restoration, transformation and repositioning agenda and provision of social infrastructure.
“We have turned those roads built during the era of Macpherson and Lord Lugard in Oyo State into modern roads; we are not just doing roads, we are doing modern roads; we have achieved much in the areas of health and water.
While commending the APC leaders for their effort at ensuring the unity and progress of the party, Governor Ajimobi said that with the victory of the party in Osun State, the party would win more states and take over from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) at federal level.
“With our recent performance in Osun State, notwithstanding all the efforts of the opposition, we have been able to show that our party is not only popular but very strategic,’’ he said.
