For the first time since
his reported membership of the All Progressives Congress (APC), former governor
of Oyo State, Chief Adebayo Alao-Akala, has remarked that he was set to
finalise the processes of joining the APC.
This is just as Governor
Abiola Ajimobi has described Alao Akala as a formidable force, noting that the
coming together of both of them would make them the most formidable force in
the politics of the state.
Alao-Akala, speaking just
after the Appeal Court sitting in Ibadan, reaffirmed the victory of Governor
Abiola Ajimobi at the April 11 polls, said he was “dotting the I’s and crossing
the T’s.”
Ajimobi noted that the
partnership meant that any other opposition was inconsequential.
“Former governor Alao
Akala is a formidable force. He is a force to be reckoned with in the politics
of Oyo state and in Nigeria, in general.”
“An elephant in Ibadan
when he goes to London will remain an elephant. An elephant in PDP, Labour will
remain an elephant when he comes to APC.”
“Mention the big guns in
Oyo State today; you will mention Ajimobi, Alao-Akala, Ladoja. We are the first
11. So his coming is good. If I now have an arm joining and we are one, who
else is left? We don’t need to tell anybody that we are the most formidable.”
