Oyo
State governor has addressed protesting students of Ladoke Akintola
University (LAUTECH) in Ibadan, in a manner many people felt was
arrogant, tyrannic and disgraceful.
Governor Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo state
Governor Abiola Ajimobi was captured on camera speaking in Yoruba
to students of Ladoke Akintola University and their colleagues who
visited his office during a peaceful protest to demand the reopening of
their instituion which has been shutdown for 8 months now.
What followed was a public display of executive arrogance and tyranny. "This isn't the first time a university will be closed for 8 months. If you want violence, I'm ready," Gov. Ajimobi told the protesting Lautech students.
In the video, Gov. Ajimobi was also seen and heard boasting that as
the governor of the state, he is a constituted authority and should be
respected even if he doesn’t pay salaries of civil servants.
He also ordered the arrest of a student, a development that was rejected by other students. The said student was let go.
