OYO 2015: WHY ADEBAYO ALAO-AKALA AND TESLIM FOLARIN AT WAR!

•How Their Rift Could Affect OYO PDP Chances In 2015
It is very interesting how the political relationship between these two gladiators degenerated to such an abysmal level. One appears set to send the other to political oblivion and would stop at nothing to make each other politically irrelevant. This is because their huge followers have taken up the fight, escalate it and they cannot stand one another. What makes it so complicated is that they are both civil and have no personal issues
with each other. This is the story of ex-Governor Adebayo Alao Akala and ex-Senate Leader, Teslim Folarin.
In 2007, both Teslim Folarin and Bayo Alao Akala found themselves in top positions. Teslim Folarin contested, won and became a Senator representing Oyo central while Akala became Deputy Governor to Senator Rashidi Ladoja.
The two political gladiators had late strongman of Ibadan Politics, Chief Adedibu’s hands in their political fortunes. They became godsons to the late Chief and became integral members of the Adedibu political dynasty. It’s instructive that were late Adedibu to be alive, there may not have been any conflict in Oyo PDP; as he was firmly in control and was well respected by all and sundry. Senator Rasheed Ladoja was governor of Oyo State from May 2007 until 2010, when he was controverially impeached. At that point, Senator Teslim Folarin and Alao Akala had become deep.
