The Oyo
state government is planning to demolish the multi million naira music house -
The Yinka Ayefele Music House, belonging to Tungba music creator, Yinka
Ayefele, which is situated along Falana Rd in Ibadan .
The state
government said last week that the building is being considered for demolition
because its on the right-of-way for the planned 8-lane road expansion in
Ibadan.
Reacting publicly for the first
time since he got the news, Ayefele told Gbenga Shaba of Yes! Magazine that the
planned demolition is a test of his faith.
"I
know it's a test of my faith and it will soon pass. I observed the stipulated
distance range for the building, but no one knew that the area would soon
attract an 8-lane way, which will mean more lands have to give way for the
expansion. I know I'm not the only one this will affect. there are hundreds of
good people of Oyo state who derive their daily meals from different activities
that are carried out in the building. I know the governor of Oyo state will now
allow injustice to be carried out. I know he has a good heart and if the house
is demolished, I hope I will be duely compensated.
