The recent statement credited to former governor Adebayo Alao Akala that his All Progressives Congress, APC, Will takeover power before 2023 has been described as a call for anarchy.
Alao-Akala, OYOINSIGHT.COM had reported, had after his membership revalidation at his Ogbomoso ward, boasted that the APC would takeover power in the state before and beyond 2023.
But a Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, chieftain, who represented Oyo federal constituency between 2003 and 2007, Dr. Maroof Akinwande, explained that the statement should not be treated with a wave of hand, “most especially where he was quoted to have said that the people’s governor, Engineer Seyi Makinde and PDP will be removed before 2023.
”One would not have taken it serious if his antecedent during his deputy governorship tenure with former governor Rashidi Ladoja did not affirm this and his status in Oyo state.
“It however means that the APC and former governor Alao-Akala are up to something in Oyo State. His call for termination of tenue of a legally elected governor is a ‘coup’ and should be treated as such.
“The unequal achievement of GSM within the last twenty months has sent panic into the camp of opposition APC in the state and hence want to resort to self help, which is their style.
“I now call on the good people of Oyo State not to fall into the antics of the lawless APC stalwart and chairman, Elder Advisory Council. By their seeds we shall know them,” Akinwande, who was once chairman of the Federal Capital Territory Secondary Education Board, added.
