By the time the administration of Governor Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo State ends  on May 29, 2019, one thing would have become clear:  Here was a governor that came and made a difference in the lives of the people, in rapid infrastructural renewal; who gave governance a new name and established a legacy of moving Oyo from a traditional society, to a modern one.

First of all, let me say that I am delighted that the #DapchiGirls have been returned to their parents by Boko Haram. No matter what happened before, during and after the abduction, it is safe to say that this aspect of the saga (the safe return of most of the girls) is a good thing.

Tony Nwaka, former commissioner in Delta State and one of the advisers of governor Ifeanyi Okowa posted the following on his facebook page few days after announcing on facebook that he was quitting PDP for APC;

I am happy that the Dapchi girls are all back home but I am deeply troubled by the fact that one of them was left behind and by the assertion that 5 of them died whilst in captivity.

Without knowing it, the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has virtually made a super human out of this man called Senator Ike Ekweremadu. It is not because he defied all odds to become the Deputy Senate President in the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), much as it is a display of cross-party acceptance and political sagacity.
