 He said: “Ajibade has proven beyond any doubt that he is a competent legal officer.
“As the chief law officer, our new SAN has ensured that Kwara State Government is properly guided on all legal issues
“It is now a rare occurrance for the state government to lose a court case on technical  grounds.â€Â
