Peoples Democratic Party and Accord Party lawmakers in the Oyo State House of Assembly on Thursday declared that Governor Abiola Ajimobi had piloted the affairs of the state well in the past two years.
They passed the vote of confidence after listening to an address presented to the Assembly by the governor as part of activities marking the second anniversary of his administration.
The Deputy Speaker, Babatunde Olaniyan, who is of the Accord Party, said the governor was not only industrious but also accountable.
He attributed the peace and development in the state to harmonious working relationship between the executive and legislature.
He said, "You have, in the last two years, demonstrated that you want us all to work together to move Oyo State forward."
The Minority Leader, Rafiu Adekunle, said, "You are performing and we want you to perform more. We are very grateful and happy to work with you. Those of us in other political parties cannot see something good and say it is bad."
The Deputy Majority Leader, Kehinde Subair, moved a motion for passing the vote of confidence in the governor while the Chief Whip, Abiodun Ahmed, seconded the motion.
The governor, who attributed the administration's performance to tenacity of purpose, noted particularly that he was happy with his accomplishments in infrastructural development.
He said, "The acceptance and encouragement you gave me during that first state of the state address became the fillip with which we moulded the achievements that we have recorded."
He noted that the three political parties in the state-Action Congress of Nigeria, PDP and AP- worked together to support his administration.
He said, "Our preoccupation was to rewrite our un-enviable position in the annals of history and trumpet to the world that we are a people conscious of our pacesetting heritage".
