A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party Party PDP in Oyo state Engineer Muftau Open Salawu has said the late governor of Oyo state Otunba Alao Akala will support Senator Seyi Makinde’s second term bid if he were to be alive.
Open Salawu, a member of Presidential Campaign Council in a statement said “If Akala were to be alive he would support Governor Seyi Makinde for second term.
“There was a mutual respect between former Governor Akala and Governor Seyi Makinde on like The other Candidates.”
“There was an inflammatory battle between Senator Teslim and former Governor Akala since 2011 when Teslim abort the second term of Akala and until his death he is also not in support of Teslim Governorship ambition”.
“I did asked late Governor Akala on the position for the 2023 Governorship election in Oyo State and he said point blank that is not Teslim. I am not surprised that in the interviews of Senator Teslim in Agidigbo and Yes FM when he was commending previous Governor of Oyo State he left Akala out and repeated the same in Yes FM interview and our people have noted his actions and We shall speak with our Vote”.
Speaking 2023 Election, the Babalaje of Ogbomoso said “Traditionally Oyo State is a very complex state when it comes to politics and election generally but all early indication of the dynamics to comes in next year election are in favour of Governor Seyi Makinde”.
“GSM deserved second term for Continuity, Consistency productivity and progress of Oyo State. Among the governorship contenders in Oyo State GSM is more experience and expose, people of Oyo State will vote for him across the state and particularly We the people of Ogbomoso”.
“GSM secure sole ownership of LAUTECH, Construct a road that connects Ogbomoso to Iseyin, We have Chief of Staff and he gave Otunba Christopher Alao-Akala a befitting burial”.
He maintained that 2023 Election will come with packages of surprises to all political parties. Of course, it wasn’t good news for APC given by the reports of strategists and effects of national politics and economic.
“President Muhammad Buhari may meant well initially but at some point the government lost it completely, how would they explain naira to a dollar that was 250 and now 750 (300% increase) or a bag of rice that was less than 10,000 in 2015 and now almost 50,000.
“The Security situation is not better either. I hope we will have the courage to review the constitution of the country and reduce the exclusive list by allowing the state and local government to be more operational.
