How Late Ajimobi Personally Chose Akala To Fit In His Position As Leader Of Oyo APC — Salawu

A chieftain in the Oyo state chapter of All Progressives Congress, Hon. Muftau Open Salawu disclosed that the late Ajimobi knew former governor Akala will be the best fit, for the leadership position of the party’s Oyo state chapter.

Salawu, who is an ex Special Adviser to the late Ajimobi, made known this revelation in a recent interview.

Based on his account, this is valid because before the demise of Ajimobi, he appointed Akala as chairman of the party’s reconciliation committee.

“First and foremost, there is no leadership crisis in Oyo APC. The party has a chairman, Chief Akin Oke. Talking of state leadership, like the one late Ajimobi occupied before he died, then we have to involve Chief Adebayo Alao Akala who, by all virtues, fits into that position.

“He is a former governor. In politics, a lot of people protest and put up agitation but they all know that as long as Chief Adebayo Alao-Akala remains in APC, he is the leader either pronounced or not. Those contesting leadership doesn’t have his profile.

“As God would have it, Late Ajimobi asked Alao Akala to anchor the reconciliation committee. It shows that he knew he (was) is the best for the job,” he said.
