Ajibola Ajimobi, daughter of Oyo state governor, has denied lambasting students of the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH) over the encounter with her father.

The governor had talked down on aggrieved students, who stormed his office to protest 8-month closure of their school.

An Instagram user who identified herself as Ajimobi’s daughter, had described the students as “generation of manerless children”, attracting scorching criticisms.

But the governor’s daughter denied owning the account, which made the offensive statement.

“My attention has been drawn to a series of publications on social media and the Internet at large, which claim that I, Mrs Ajibola Ajayi (formerly known as Miss Ajibola Abiola-Ajimobi) lashed out at LAUTECH students calling them a manner less generation … on my instagram page,” she said in a statement.

“I wish to state that this story is completely false. It is malicious and willfully targeted at maligning and marring my character. Over the last 48 hours my reputation has been tarnished and my family and I have been subjected to cyber bullying and harassment. I have also received threats of violence as well as limitless insults as a result of this false publication.

“This has now spiraled out of control hence I feel the need to publicly address it since I have received numerous calls from various people, including friends, family members, colleagues and clients.

“I wish to further state that the instagram page referred to as “conceited_csj” through which it was alleged that I made the purported statement does not belong to me. Having once been a student myself, I am sympathetic to the plight of the LAUTECH students and empathize with them.”
