Gubernatorial candidate of the Action Democratic Party (ADP) in Oyo State, Chief Adebayo Alao Akala, on Monday, stated that his ambition to be governor again was hinged on his concern that the state had lost its pacesetter status, despite its abundant resources, and that residents of the state grappled with pains and hardship.
In a Christmas message he personally signed, Alao Akala called for introspection on the good governance he offered between 2007 and 2011, thereby stating that he was determined to take the state from nadir to the apex, in terms of good governance.
According to Alao Akala, the ADP offered the brightest hope for the future, calling on residents to vote his return to Agodi government house for a stronger and economically successful state.
Stating that he was worried that residents of the state had experienced pains for about eight years, Alao Akala said he, alongside his deputy, Abideen Olaiya, was on a mission to rescue the state from self-serving leaders.
