…says party remains rejected by Oyo State people
THE Oyo Kajola Group, OKG, a Pan-Oyo socio-political organization, said on Friday that the All Progressives Congress, APC, being led by former Governor Adebayo Alao-Akala would remain rejected in the reckoning of Oyo State people, as, according to it, the party is only a relic of the state’s sad historical past.
The group, in a statement by its media coordinator, Adebayo Ayandele, maintained that the developmental strides being recorded by the Governor Seyi Makinde’s administration and the myriad of achievements, are clear signs that the state is on the path to unprecedented growth.
According to OKG, the state will never return to ‘political jackals and ruinous administrators’ in the APC.
The group further stated that with the way the Makinde administration has touched and turned around critical sectors of the state in under two years, and with testimonies abounding in infrastructure rebuilding, social welfare and expanding economy, it remains a tall dream for the APC, which destroyed the state for eight years, to think about retaking Oyo State.
OKG noted that its statement was in response to another statement credited to a former governor and head of an APC faction in the state, Chief Alao-Akala, in which he stated that Oyo State is “there for the APC to grab.”
According to the group, the former governor’s statement was a clear indication that the APC is aware that it will remain rejected by the people of Oyo State, hence the plan to “grab the state by violence.”
The group stated that though Makinde has expressed his commitment to delivering on the mandate given to him and focusing on governance, APC should perish the thought of retaking the state in 2023, as the good works being done by the government, which have been benefiting the people, will speak loudly in future elections.
The group condemned the APC, especially Alao-Akala, for demonstrating undemocratic tendencies by planning to retake Oyo through the instrumentality of violence, noting that the statement was indicative of internal struggle and rat race going on in the state chapter of the APC.
“We hereby condemn a statement credited to the controversial leader of the APC in Oyo State, Chief Adebayo Alao-Akala, that the APC will grab Oyo State in 2023. It is sad that in the 21st century and at a period that patriots are desiring the institutionalisation of democracy and electoral ideals, the APC in Oyo State is plotting to grab victory rather than work for it.
