Yinka Ayefele got a rude shocker this morning when he learnt that his N200m building will be pulled down by the Oyo State Government. According to his publicist, Ayefele was not given any prior notice about the demolition and he was shocked to hear about it this morning. Ayefele went ahead to church and later went to perform at an event as if nothing happened. Many have continued to criticize Gov Ajimobi for his demolition policies.
This N200million naira edifice has in its belly, two magnificent halls, an internet radio station, a standard studio and several offices. It also provides job for about 100 people and that place it among top employers of labor in Oyo State. This is Yinka Ayefele Music House that has being marked for demolition by Oyo State government. The government wants to expand the road to an 8-lane road being proposed by the state government. The road and the house will be affected.

This report is biased and this poster is not fair and objective. Even if the house is to be pulled down, there should have been a prior notice. Oyo State govt works with technocrats and not fools. Adequate compensation will be paid to whoever is affected mind u. Let's start by leaving out sentiments while passing infos cos he's a celebrity, then the house should sit at the middle of the road? Those multi million naira equipments can be moved easily. Even his employees would be adequately moved to the new site.

Ayefele himself knows that he built his office on a setback that has been set out for the road expansion, so if he knew what he was doing then, he would have search from the ministry of Lands to know how far about the place, everybody knew it is a set back right from the begining, a reasonable and educated man can never buy that place. So the government owe him nothing
