A former governor of Oyo state, Otunba Adebayo Alao-Akala, has given hits on the ploy currently deployed by the opposition parties in the state to unseat the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) from Agodi government house on May 2019.

Speaking during an interview on Fresh FM in Ibadan, the governorship candidate of Action Democratic Party (ADP) vowed that APC would not retain the seat of government as plans are ongoing to stop the ruling party in 2019, Nigerian Tribune reports.

Legit.ng gathers that Akala, who disclosed that the split within opposition parties in 2015 paved way for Governor Abiola Ajimobi to return as governor with 32% of the total votes cast, however said he was not assure of the would-be winner.

He said: “I will not tell you what we are doing as opposition parties in Oyo State. But I want to tell you that what happened in 2015 when the opposition could not unite against the ruling APC will not repeat itself.

“That, I can assure you. I can even swear on oath that it will not happen. How we are going to ensure APC does not return, I won’t give you the formula. Leave that to us.

“One thing I want to tell you is that, by the special grace of God, APC will not rule Oyo state in 2019. Whatever it will take, we will give. We are ready.

"We are on air, so I won’t want to speak too much. The person that will be governor, we will know. But it is not going to be APC candidate.”

The ADP gubernatorial candidate also revealed the commitment of the people of the state to prevent rigging of the election, adding that all hands are on decks to put a stop to a force trying to override the people's interest during election.

He added: "That will never happen again. It was a sad experience. As a matter of fact, anybody trying to rig election in Oyo State will not find it easy. Do you what happened in Turkey when they wanted to seize power there? We saw civilians climbing armoured tanks and daring the soldiers.

“In 2019, you will see voters climbing armoured tanks if they rig in Oyo state. We are fully ready. I know that the man governing Oyo state now will not like to set the state ablaze. If he wants to do that, we will help him put petrol. Nobody should rig. Let Oyo state people decide who governs them.

“It is not necessary it should be Alao-Akala. People should decide who governs them and in an attempt to rig, to bring the military to harass the people of the state, we will know what to do when the time comes.

“We are not trying to threaten anybody. Nobody should think we are fools. We will not take it. And I mean it and we are ready. I have been in this game for a long time."

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari. It is unarguable that the President arrays the most competence-challenged cabinet ever in the chronicle of governance in Nigeria. Yes, a recession cabinet. Fredrick Nwabufo Here is a cabin...
