Oyo 2019: Real Reason Akala Left APC

GOVERNORSHIP candidate of the Action Democratic Party (ADP), Otunba Adebayo Alao-Akala has disclosed why he dumped the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo state for the Action Democratic Party (ADP).

The former governor also hinted that his movement out of the APC was about the need to protect his followers’ interest and hearken to what his supporters are demanding from him – a return to the Agodi Government House.

Akala who featured on a radio programme in Ibadan on Saturday said there is dynamism in politics and there was no political party with clear cut ideology in Nigeria, therefore, moving from a political party to other should be expected from political gladiators. He added that the ADP remains the best vehicle to convey him back to Agodi government house because ADP is the only settled party without any litigation in court.

Speaking further, the ex-governor said he was the most experienced candidate with deep knowledge of governance to bail the state out of poverty, stressing that having lost in his second term bid in 2011 and 2015 respectively, he has no doubt being able to understand where the problems lie with readiness to make the 2019 race a fait accompli

“I am glad to say that God is on our side and within less than two weeks, ADP structures are everywhere. And this is made possible because I have structures everywhere and we just coalesced them into the ADP, ” Akala said.

Akala, however promised to employ simple economic term ‘opportunity cost’ to focus on pressing needs of the people especially in the area of workers welfare, education, health and agriculture.
