EX-OYO GOVERNOR, ALAO-AKALA SET TO DUMP PDP

There are strong indications that former governor of Oyo State, Otunba Adebayo Alao-Akala, may dump the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) ahead of the 2015 general election, Nigerian Tribune reports. According to the report, a source hinted the newspaper that though Alao-Akala is one of the leading contenders for PDP governorship ticket in Oyo State, he was fed up with the way things were going on in the party.

In the report, “The source alleged that some members of the party were desperate to hijack its structure and do things their own way. This, the source said, was not healthy for the party, adding that Alao-Akala’s supporters may, as a result, force him to join another political party. The source added that the former governor considered as unfortunate, the way the national body of the party was playing along with those he described as desperate to take over the party at all cost.

“Alao-Akala, it was gathered, travelled to Abuja on Wednesday evening, after he got a hint that the outcome of the ward congress held on Monday was being manipulated by some people.Another supporter of the former governor said he was sure other supporters would definitely move with him to any party of his choice, if the appropriate authorities in the party fail to put things in order. He said Alao-Akala may dump the party because of the injustice meted to him at the two ward congresses held in the state.”
