“He doesn’t have what it takes to be a governor,” the governor said.

“I have been a governor now for seven years. I know the qualities of someone who should be a governor; he doesn’t have it. His temperament cannot be that of a governor.”

He said before he became a governor, he worked in the oil and gas industry and rose through the ranks to become MD of a subsidiary of Shell Petroleum.

“I was an oil and gas man. I rose to the peak of my career as a managing director,” he said.

“Not only in Nigeria but outside Nigeria. I was chief executive of Shell (Petroleum) companies outside Nigeria,” he added.

“If you behave unconventionally and I say you behave unconventionally, is that derogatory?

“I have nothing against him, to be honest. I just like people to have decorum, I like people with style,” he said.

When asked if he believes Shittu would have been appointed minister if he truly lacked the qualities the governor claims he lacked, Governor Ajimobi said the APC in Oyo was against the appointment.

“The party didn’t support the nomination,” he said.
