Ajimobi insisted that Makinde was elected for a period of four years, stressing that it would be too early for him to access his successor, who was sworn in on May 29 this year.
Ajimobi, who represented Oyo South Senatorial District between 2003 and 2007, was the governor of the state between 2011 and 2019.
He said that he had done his best for the state, stating that it’s now time for Makinde to prove his worth.
Ajimobi addressed journalists shortly after he was honoured with a meritorious award by the Catholic Archdioceses of Ibadan. This done as part of the 70th birthday celebrations of the Bishop of the archdioceses,
Reverend Leke Gabriel Abegunrin, urged citizens and leaders to continue to sacrifice for the development of the country.
The event was held on Sunday at Mary’s Cathedral, Oke Padre, Ibadan, Oyo State.

Ajimobi said, he would henceforth maintain silence on issues concerning the state and allow the incumbent governor to do his job.
He said: “It is too early for me to asses the the governor. I was there for eight years. It is too early to assess him. Give the man the chance to do his job.
”I know that he has at least four years. He has just spent three months. It is too early.
“I think it is good for us to work for the development of this country. We must all sacrifice for us to move this country forward. It is easier for people to talk.”
