OYO 2015: APC offers Akala 1Billion Anually To Step Down Election Bid, Wants Ajimobi To Rule Again

Confirmed sources have revealed that former Governor Akala is a threat to the re-election of the incumbent governor of Oyo State, Senator Abiola Ajimobi.

The sources disclosed that the likely emergence of Akala as PDP Gubernatorial flag bearer does not sit down well with the APC hierarchy of the state. It is said that the APC is jittery about the former governor’s ambition and has set machineries in motion to scuttle his plans. To achieve this, the APC has allegedly offered Akala One billion naira every year to step down from contesting the 2015 elections in the state.
This amounts to four billion naira in four years, almost equivalent to the state’s monthly federal allocation.
Rumour has it that the APC is comfortable of victory if any other aspirant emerges as flag bearer of the PDP.
However, the massive grassroot support Akala commands as well as the people’s clamour for change will put the APC on its heels.
A source in Ibadan, who pleaded anonymity said “Everyone knows Akala will beat Ajimobi anytime. Even the APC knows its time is over“.

• It is not yet confirmed if the APC’s offer will be accepted, but several indications reveal Akala will not settle for any offer from the opposition.
