2019: I’ m not aware of Ajimobi’s senatorial ambition – Aide

THE Executive Assistant to Governor Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo State on political matters, Dr Morohunkola Thomas has opened up on the governor’s rumoured senatorial ambition.

According to speculations, the governor is currently nursing the ambition to seek election into the Nigerian Senate in 2019, through his Oyo South Senatorial District, the most populated in the state.

On the contrary, Thomas has said he is not aware of his principal’s ambition.

The governor’s aide who made the disclosure to Mega Icon Magazine recently in Ibadan also said that the governor is more preoccupied with providing effective leadership, widening the scope of his party, and preparing the party for its ability to win elections over and over again.

“The governor is not even thinking so much about himself, but thinking about the legacies to leave behind. The time has not come for us to say that, I am not aware, he hasn’t told me. When he gives me instruction to say I am going for this, then I will know how to handle it.

“So, when the time comes for us to pick senatorial candidates, if he’s interested, he has a legitimate right to be interested. When we get to the bridge, we shall cross it”, the former commissioner submitted.
