Chief Adebayo Alao-Akala
Chairman of the All Progressives Congress in
Oyo State, Akin Oke, has expressed his
disappointment at a former governor of the
state, Adebayo Alao-Akala, for his decision to
defect from the Peoples Democratic Party to the
Labour Party, instead of the ruling APC.
Alao-Akala had joined the LP on the day the
PDP held its governorship primary election in
Ibadan the state capital, in protest against the
outcome of the exercise.
Oke, while speaking on the development,
wondered why Alao-Akala made the decision
when his chances of success were brighter in
the APC.
While recognising Alao-Akala as a political
heavyweight in the state, Oke said although
APC might not give the ex-governor its
governorship ticket, he would have gotten a
senatorial ticket and with bright chances of
success at the polls.
Oke said, “Incidentally, Alao-Akala is my
brother; we come from the same town and
zone. I know his weight, he has a formidable
weight. But I think he miscalculated by going to
LP and he is going to regret it.
“If I were in his shoes, rather than go to the
LP, I would have gone to the APC, since he is
aggrieved with the PDP. I know he will
eventually regret his decision.”
Oke added that most governors with eight-year
tenures ended up in the Senate. He said the
APC would have given him the chance to
achieve that easily.
“Surely, we could have given him the senatorial
ticket but with the place he has gone to, I am
very sure he cannot win. It is going to cost him
more and he will still not win. That is why I
think he will regret the decision later.
“I don’t know who advised him to take that
decision but I know that whoever talked him
into it gave him a wrong impression,” said Oke.........
