A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Ambassador Taofeek Oladejo Arapaja has called for the arrest of his former boss, Otunba Adebayo Alao-Akala for saying that the All Progressives Congress, APC, will take over power in Oyo State before 2023.
Arapaja, OYOINSIGHT.COM understands, was Alao-Akala’s deputy between 2007 and 2011.
He called for Alao-Akala’s arrest on Political Circuit, a weekly political on Fresh 105.9 FM Saturday morning.
OYOINSIGHT.COM had reported how Alao-Akala, who is the chairman of the Elders Advisory Council of the APC said that his party would takeover before 2023.
Alao-Akala, who was at ward in Ogbomoso North local government, had said that “Let me now shock you, all things being equal and without mincing words, APC will be in power in Oyo state before 2023. And come 2023, we will still be in power God willing.
“I won’t go into details more than this but I tell you, we are putting finishing touches to the process to make it a reality.
“In the next couple of days, you will see new faces and new movements amongst us, welcome them with open hands, make them comfortable, it is part of the process.
Don’t fight anybody, let the process go on “smoothly, don’t feel intimidated by their coming.
“Let us gladly recieve them into the APC fold since the PDP does not appreciate being in power, we will take it away from them.
“You know we operate an all-encompassing and open door policy. And being the ruling party at the national level, the best thing for us as a state is to make sure Oyo state is also an APC state and this will soon become a reality,” Alao-Akala had added.
But Arapaja, who is a former house of representatives member, said his former boss should have become a guest of the security agencies as what he was calling for was civil unrest.
He added that Makinde has till 2023 to complete the 4 years mandate given to him by electorates in the state.
Details later.
