Honourable Saheed Akinade Fijabi, representing Ibadan North West/South West in the National House of Representative has said his loyality lies with Governor Abiola Ajimobi.

He said that he is loyal to Senator Abiola Ajimobi because he is his leader and Governor.

He said this during an interactive media session with South West Group of Online Publisher (SWEGOP) on Tuesday while addressing questions about the on-going crisis within the All Progressive Congres (APC) in Oyo State.

“If people are saying I am fighting a proxy war for Ajimobi then I have the right and duty to because he is my leader and my Govenor

 " Respect should be given to whom it is due and Governor Ajimobi being the leader of the party and Governor deserves to be respected by every member of the party regardless of their position in the country," he noted

Fijabi also said that he does not recognise the presence of factions in APC in Oyo state, hence he cannot be in support of supposed faction .

While addressing the rift between himself and the Minister for Communication, Adebayo Shittu, he said the Minister is too distracted by his aspirations to contest for governorship in 2019.

When asked about his opinion on the newly appointed Local Government Caretaker Chairmen, he said Governor Ajimobi as only acted in accordance with the law to forestall conducting elections into the local government and appointing caretaker committees instead.

“Elections have not held because most of the local governments have court cases that are pending in court, hence elections cannot hold until the cases are settled out of court.

“A lot of people think the government is slow but that is what transparency entails

“Democracy requires that processes are duely followed hence nothing can be done except the law sanctions it right,” Fijabi reiterated.

"It is not his duty to nominate whomever emerged as Chairman of his local government  but to support whomever has been appointed as the Caretake Chairman of his local government without reservations.

"the proximity of house of representative members to the people they receive a lot of criticism from the people.

" It is important that you allow us repeat ' the class' as many times so that we can deliver more as the representatives of the people.

"Members of the public to make constructive criticism so that their pleas can be heard effectively," he stated.
