Information
recently made available by a very reliable source to TNS indicates that the
ruling party, the People`s Democratic Party ( PDP) has concluded plans to foist the
erstwhile governor of Oyo State, Chief Christopher Adebayo Alao-Akala on the
people of Oyo come 2015.
The source
says that the desire of the Oyo people will not be put into consideration by the
PDP in achieving its goal. It is so since all the party wants is wrestle the
state from the All Progressive Party (APC).
According to
the information their set objective will either not be hampered by the wishes
of other party stalwarts interested in contesting the governor position under
the party.
Christopher Adebayo Alao-Akala (born June 3, 1950,
in Ogbomosho, Ogbomosho North Local Government, a staunch member of the ruling PDP two
months ago made it clear to the media that he is going to run for the office he
vacated in controversial circumstances. He said that only God and the electorate would decide who the next
governor of the state becomes in 2015.
Alao-Akala told newsmen in Ogbomoso
that “The people had tasted governance from both sides of the coin” and would,
with the help of God, determine who to vote in as governor.
Governor Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo State
had on Friday at the swearing-in ceremony of the local government caretaker
chairmen said he would contest for a second term.
“He only expressed himself. He is
entitled to his opinion but Almighty God and the electorates will decide who
governs. All that the people want is someone who will rule and change their
standard of living, someone who will ensure that the people have food on their
table,” Alao-Akala said.
Alao-Akala said the present
administration had only succeeded in expanding ready-made roads and also turned
home owners into tenants through the destruction of their houses.
He also said he was not aware of any
crisis in the state chapter of the PDP.
Alao-Akala, who admitted that there
were some aggrieved party members, added that the problem would be resolved
soon.
The former governor said he was
interested in building the party and would not work against such efforts.
