resolve the issues that triggered the demolition of the Ayefele Music House.
Ajimobi set up the committee during a meeting with the
gospel musician, Yinka Ayefele in his office on Thursday in Ibadan.
The News Agency of Nigeria(NAN) reports that Ayefele in the
company of Mr Joseph Tegbe and some of staff had arrived the governor’s office
around 11.30 am
The governor emphasised the importance of the rule of law,
saying Ayefele should have responded to various letters written to him by the
state government
He stated that the demolition exercise was not a witch-hunt
nor politically motivated as claimed, adding it was due to contravention of the
state planning laws.

citizen, stressing that the next step is to compassionately find a means to
resolve the issue.

writings and broadcast, promising to solve the issue.

see the governor in the company of some other monarchs, pleaded with governor
on behalf of Ayefele.

the governor to find a lasting solution to the issue.
Earlier, Ayefele stated that his office responded to all
letters forwarded to it by the state government, adding he had also made
several attempts to see the governor without success.

governor instead of sending emissaries who failed to deliver his messages.

citizen, who is ready to comply with regulations of the state government.
