ALAO-AKALA: LP LAMBASTS APC, ACCORD! The fact that the two major contending parties in Oyo State, the APC and the Accord Party, have been lobbying round to woo Chief Adebayo Alao Akala, our gubernatorial candidate for the 2015 elections is suggestive that he, Akala is the most credible and the man to beat at the elections, the Labour Party has said. Reacting to the statements credited to the leadership of the two opposing parties over the choice of Akala as its governorship candidate, the Labour Party, through its Director of Media and Publicity in Oyo State, Hon. Taiwo Ibrahim, said the incursion of Akala into the gubernatorial race has already thrown panic into the camps of all other parties. Senator Rashidi Ladoja, we recall, had said in some newspapers last week that he was ready to conceded the leadership of his party in Oyo North Central Senatorial District to Alao Akala if he decided to join his party while the state chairman of the APC, Chief Akin Oke lamented that Akala would regret his actions. The Labour Party wondered why the lamentations if Akala refused their carrots and advised the duo to concede openly that the gubernatorial election is already a forgone conclusion in favour of the Labour Party. The party noted that the combination of Alao Akala and Sarafadeen Alli as the governorship and deputy-governorship candidates respectively had sent jitters down the spines of the opposition. We also observed that in the media, Ajimobi, himself, Okes principal, has been reported to have dangled N21million before Akala being the accumulated gratuity of the latter over the years so that he could join his party. This, up till now as reported by the newspaper has not been denied, it is then conceivable that both Ladoja, the septugenarian and Ajimobi, the incumbent are afraid of Akala. The Labour Party advised Ajimobi to start packing his load from the Agodi Government House as the electorates in all the nooks and crannies of of Oyo State, including Ibadan, were already preparing to see him out of office.
