A Former Governor of Oyo state, Abebayo Alao Akala, has made known of his intention to withdraw from the Gubernatorial race of his state, Oyo state. He made this announcement few days after meeting with the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
He was seeking election under the platform of the Action Democratic Party (ADP) before ditching his ambition to support the APC candidate in the state, Adebayo Adelabu.
His decision has already sparked reactions from Nigerians.

Akala swore he was going to work against Apc, now he’s supporting the Apc candidate. These politicians are not to be taken serious, they only care about their selfish interest.

With Otunba Alao Akala back in the APC fold, @BayoAdelabu is already Governor-in-waiting. Saturday March 9 is the day we finally put these naysayers to shame.
