This is very authoritative and Society Reporters NG’s exclusive report.
Report reaching us has confirmed that the current governor of Oyo State, Governor Ajimobi has been having a sleepless night since the day the state’s former governor, Alao Akala declares his intention to run as a governor of the state under the platform of the PDP.
We gathered exclusively that the governor has seen Alao Akala as a very great competitor who might become the next governor of the state in the upcoming gubernatorial election.
Report reaching us from Ibadan the state capital revealed that governor Ajimobi has been sending different delegates to beg otunba Alao Akala to step down and name his price, for him to have a better chance come 2015.
One of our very reliable source hinted Society Reporters NG that the governor sent some delegates to Akala last week to step down or better still cross over to APC, in order to help him boost his chances of his re-election bid, sensing the fact that He (Ajimobi) can be defeated in the next election, and it had become very obvious that PDP will field Akala against him.
We gathered therefore that some other delegates were sent to Akala’s residence yesterday Sunday 12 October, 2014 to beg him to take one of the two options he is pushing forward.
The delegates according to an insider was led by the caretaker chairman of ogbomoso local government, Mr Temi Adibi who met Akala at the SDM trying to persuade him to listen to Governor Ajimobi, and mention his price for them to work together.
According to our source, Otunba Alao Akala insisted that he cannot accept any offer from Ajimobi claiming he will remain in PDP and will never take APC for an option.
“I am not interested in becoming a member of APC, and I am still in the race for governorship in the coming election under the umbrella of PDP”. He insisted.
Society Reporters NG will update you on the development as soon as we lay our hands on more information.
