Alao Akala Makes U-Turn, Dumps PDP For Labour Party
Oyo-State politics is something that every politico scholar must observer, because it getting interesting every day.
Former Governor of Oyo-State, who is also strong aspirant of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Chief Alao-Akala, has dumped the PDP party for the Labour Party.
About few days ago, Alao-Akala, is one those strong candidate for the PDP governorship primaries election, which held yesterday in state capital Ibadan.
The race for governorship election in Oyo – State, will now between the sitting governor of the state Senator Abiola Ajimobi ( APC), Senator Rashidi Adewolu Ladoja ( Accord Party), Senator Teslim Folarin (PDP) and Alao- Akala (Labour Party).
Former governor Akala, has decamped the PDP for the Labour Party at the last-minute. Though people say he left because it became obvious the party wanted another candidate, Alaka however claims he left when his teeming supporters asked him to quit because of insincerity and injustice taking place in the party.According to press statement released out by the media spokesperson of the ex-governor Mr Abraham Ojo, says that former governor’s claims saying the party has not been fair.
“Thousands of supporters of the former governor stormed the Bodija residence to deliberate on the way forward, after the injustice meted to him by the PDP.
“After series of meetings and discussions, they all decided to dump the PDP and move to an alternative party, which is Labour Party.”
“Everybody in the state knows that Alao-Akala and his supporters are strong pillars that hold the party and if a genuine delegate congress is conducted, Alao-Akala will always win, but since the national secretariat has given in to the manipulations of the minority in the party, we have no option but to quit.”
He also noted that they never participated in the party’s primaries and he wonders where they got the results where they said Akala had two votes in the primaries. He has made his intention to quit the party known since Sunday, after meeting with his teeming supporters in Ogbomoso and later on Monday in Ibadan, even before the process started.
“It is laughable and ridiculous to say Alao-Akala scored two votes in the primaries he did not even participate in. He is a political giant who has been a bride to all political parties in the state since the PDP travails started,” he added.
I also heard some party big names such as chief Jacob Adetoro, Chief Adigun Irawo, General Yusuf Braimoh, some past commissioners and local government chairmen left with him.
Hope the people of state vote the right candidate to serve them.
