Senator Ajimobi while speaking at the empowerment at a function in Ibadan harps on the need for the party members to unite and work together as one

Ajimobi who also decried the role of interest group in the party said no interest group supersedes the party saying “ as far as the leader of the party I can bodly say that there is no LAMISTS nor SENACO in APC, those who are promoting those groups are jobless
I am Senator Abiola Ajimobi who formed SENACO and it is dead the same with Lam Adesina group, LAMIST is dead too, so let everybody speak and operate as a member of indivisible APC in Oyo state “
“ To those who are already saying that they will hijack the party structure from Ajimobi but let them know that I am still in charge , I am the leader of APC in oyo state , I inherited the party executives and they are my people so let nobody fool you”
“ I am still interested in the party even after leaving office as the governor, I want APC government to take over from me , and this can only happen if we are united , I beg you in the name of our predecessors right from the time of Late chief Awolowo, Bola Ige and my uncle Lam Adesina, let us work together
“ Let us also embrace those who are just joining us, we are the only formidable party in the state, other party are already in disarray and that is why some of their members are coming to our party, let us not think of what they have done to us in the past but embrace them and work together as one united party for victory in the forthcoming election.
