The All Progressives Congress in Oyo State has taken a swipe
at the gubernatorial candidate of the Labour Party, Adebayo Alao-Akala, over
the circulation of posters bearing pictures of the former governor and the
President-Elect, Muhammadu Buhari, apparently, to gain sympathy from the
electorate ahead of next week’s governorship election in the state.
Campaign posters bearing the pictures of Messrs Buhari and
Alao-Akala with “Sai Buhari, Sai Akala” boldly written on them have flooded
particularly Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.
Reacting to the development, the Director of Publicity and
Strategy of the Oyo State chapter of the APC, Olawale Sadare, described the
development as “another shameful act coming from enemies of the good people of
the state”.
“Not a few people found it unbelievable to see the picture
of the President-elect, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, on Alao-Akala’s campaign
posters,” Mr. Sadare said. “Since Wednesday evening when those disgusting
posters were sighted in parts of Ibadan, a good number of concerned citizens
have been expressing their amazement at the development.

“Meanwhile, the ruling APC in the state view the action of
the sponsors of such obnoxious campaign materials as a desperation taken too
far. It is indeed another in the series of grand delusion which most members of
the opposition have been feeding the public with in their bid to hijack power
and return the state to the era of bad governance, official corruption and
impunity.”
He added that Mr. Buhari, given “what he has always
represented”, would not “contemplate throwing up a corrupt element for an
election or appointment”.
In spite of the antics of the opposition in Oyo State to
mislead the public, the APC remained confident that its candidate and incumbent
Governor, Abiola Ajimobi, would be re-elected for an unprecedented second term
on April 11, Mr. Sadare said.
