BUT, he vowed that his administration will deal with the enemies irrespective of who they are.
“Who are our enemies? They are the criminal elements, but whoever they are, we will deal with them in Oyo State.
“So, we are trying our best and we will continue to ensure Oyo State is safe and secure.
“Secondly, those who think they can separate us through religion won’t make any headway because the two religions(Islam and Christianity) are in our families.
“In Oyo State, we have a Hijab policy. If that policy is going to change, there must be engagement with stakeholders and I am happy to say that we are ready to have that engagement.”
