In 2007 Ajimobi ran on the ticket of the ANPP for the Governor of Oyo state with Seyi Makinde as one of the candidates for the senatorial seats in Oyo state.

They both lost and Ajimobi later became the governor of Oyo state in the then AC party.

But in a dramatic turn of events. He was succeeded by Governor Seyi Makinde as Oyo state governor in  2019.
 

He soon wormed himself into the hearts of the Oyo state media as the blue eyed boy of Nigerian politics.
 

He opposed PDP for refusing to zone presidential candidate of PDP to the south in 2023 with Nyesom Wike. 

And join the five serving and non serving PDP governors who were bent on preventing PDP from producing a northerner as President. They gave their support to Bola Ahmed Tinubu 

But recently he had started to show his true colors and appeared to be searching for new a new image for himself.

After falling out with Nyesom Wike. His strong ally and  a close associate of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

He scathingly attacked the President for not running a transparent government. But to everyone’s surprise he paid a visit to the president in his office in Aso rock in a move that looked reconciliatory.

But he doesn’t seemed to be satisfied with the outcome, this week it’s remoured he’s negotiating with former vice president Atiku. Who’s seeking to upstage the incumbent president. 

Not a few people are asking the question, what the Oyo state governor is up to and also what are the likelihood of him getting his fingers burnt.
