Minister of Communications, Mr. Adebayo Shittu, has expressed confidence that he will succeed Governor Abiola Ajimobi as governor of Oyo State in 2019.
He made this declaration when he spoke with newsmen, in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, after a meeting with members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) from Egbeda Local Government and Ajorosun Local Council Development Area of the state.
According to him, he is the most experienced of all the aspirants, having held several public offices and learnt politics from late Chief Obafemi Awolowo, therefore, he would take over from Ajimobi to improve on the good work already started.
“I was a member of the State House of Assembly in 1979 and two-time Commissioner in the State. I have also contested the governorship seat in the state twice before I became a minister.
“These are experiences you cannot buy. Oyo is advanced and sophisticated to be handled by inexperienced administrators,’’ he said.
NAN reports that the minister donated an 18-seater bus and cash to the party in the local government.
