Confirmed sources have revealed that
former Governor Akala is a threat to the
re-election of the incumbent governor of
Oyo State, Senator Abiola Ajimobi.
The sources disclosed that the likely
emergence of Akala as PDP Gubernatorial
flag bearer does not sit down well with
the APC hierarchy of the state. It is said
that the APC is jittery about the former
governor’s ambition and has set
machineries in motion to scuttle his
plans. To achieve this, the APC has
allegedly offered Akala One billion naira
every year to step down from contesting
the 2015 elections in the state.
This amounts to four billion naira in four
years, almost equivalent to the state’s
monthly federal allocation.
Rumour has it that the APC is
comfortable of victory if any other
aspirant emerges as flag bearer of the
PDP.
However, the massive grassroot support
Akala commands as well as the people’s
clamour for change will put the APC on
its heels.
A source in Ibadan, who pleaded
anonymity said “ Everyone knows Akala
will beat Ajimobi anytime. Even the APC
knows its time is over“.
It is not yet confirmed if the APC’s offer
will be accepted, but several indications
reveal Akala will not settle for any offer
from the opposition.
