Education

Secure sole ownership of LAUTECH

Broken

The promise

Pushed for Oyo State to take full, sole ownership of Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH), which it jointly owned with Osun State.

Assessment

The administration lobbied for outright Oyo ownership of LAUTECH, but the university remained a joint Oyo-Osun institution throughout his tenure; the dual-ownership arrangement was not resolved until years after he left office.

Governance

Secure a legally sound electoral mandate

Kept

The promise

Implicit in contesting for office: hold a mandate that would withstand legal challenge.

Assessment

Won the 14 April 2007 governorship election outright against Adams Oshiomhole-era rival Abiola Ajimobi and completed the full term without any successful court challenge to his own election, a contrast to several neighbouring states in the same cycle.
