Tinubu Begs Alao-Akala

National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu is now begging former Governor Adebayo Alao-Akala of Oyo State to rejoin the APC.

Insiders told us that Alao-Akala; wife, Oluwakemi Alao-Akala; his son, Olamiju and the Director General of his campaign, Wale Ohu were at Bourdillon, home of Tinubu on Thursday, February 28, 2019.

We gathered Tinubu started wooing Akala after the Peoples Democratic Party presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar defeated President Muhammadu Buhari in the presidential election in Oyo State.

Sources told us that Buhari and Ajimobi’s defeat showed that the people of Oyo State could vote against the APC candidate, Adebayo Adelabu…

“Tinubu and Alao-Akala met on Tuesday. Tinubu asked Alao-Akala, who has many supporters in Ogbomoso, to collapse his structure into that of Adelabu. We know that if Alao-Akala was in our camp, there was no way Atiku would have had such a good outing in Oyo State, especially Ogbomoso.”

“The PDP governorship candidate, Seyi Makinde, is popular and he is also an Ibadan guy like Adelabu, which means that they will both split the votes in Ibadan. The APC will need to forge an alliance with Akala in Ogbomoso to get an advantage.”

“The APC would have forged an alliance with Alao-Akala before now but Governor Ajimobi told them that there was no need to worry. We knew that the people were not too happy with the governor as far back as June 2018 when the PDP candidate, Adebo Ogundoyin, won Ibarapa-East Constituency by-election which was held to fill the vacant position created by the death of former speaker of the House of Assembly, Michael Adeyemo.”

“Alao-Akala had made some demands but Ajimobi did not play the politics right. Also, Ajimobi’s decision to convert some chiefs to full monarchs was unpopular among many people.”

Alao Akala has equally confirmed the meeting with Tinubu, he said; 

“It is true. Both of us have been meeting and we will continue to meet. I will call you in 24 hours to let you know the state of things.”
