Oyo Gov: Pdp Settle For Folarin by oderinde11(m): 5:57pm On Dec 08, 2014 |
To end the logjam bedevilling the Oyo State Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) following the controversies trailing the ward congresses held twice in the state, the national leadership of the party had settled for Teslim Kolawole Folarin as the party’s gubernatorial candidate. Two other leading governorship aspirants in the state, former Governor Adebayo Alao-Akala and Seyi Makinde, were offered ministerial appointment and senatorial ticket respectively. This is even as son of the late Azeez Arisekola Alao, Umar, who is the Oyo State Commissioner for Sports, lost his bid to pick the House of Representatives ticket under the All Progressives Congress (APC). Incumbent member of the House from the constituency, Abiodun Awoleye, was declared winner ahead of Alao-Arisekola’s son and one other aspirant. The story was, however, different in the camp of Dapo Lam-Adesina, who is the son of the state’s former governor, Lam Adesina, and a serving Commissioner for Industry, Applied Science and Technology, as he won to contest for Ibadan South-East/North-East Constituency. Meanwhile, sources close to PDP told our reporter that the proposal preceded the idea of holding the governorship primary election today (Monday), using statutory delegates alone. The proposal, however, failed to say anything about the fate of seven other gubernatorial aspirants, who had been fighting tooth and nail with the three leading aspirants on the outcomes of the two ward congresses held without acceptable results. It was gathered that the national body of the party asked Akala to come and take the Minister of State for Defence dropped by Musiliu Obanikoro, another governorship aspirant in Lagos State, who resigned for the purpose of contesting the primary election in the state. Similarly, Makinde was asked to go and take the Oyo South Senatorial slot of the party, a proposal said not to have gone down well not only with Akala and Makinde, but with the seven other aspirants, following which it was learnt the party settled for governorship primary, using only the statutory delegates. dailyindependentnig.com/2014/12/oyo-gov-pdp-settles-folarin/ |

There is no jinx to be broken as the lives of the people in Oyo state is not like a game of football. Left to me irrespective of party affliation, any elected office holder who has underperformed in his first term does not deserve a second term. I have only one vote and I am going to use real good. |
