DEFEATING AND CRUSHING ABIOLA
AJIMOBI WAS A COLLECTIVE RESPONSIBILITY – APA
The African Peoples Alliance (APA), Oyo State Chapter has
said that the defeat recently encountered by the current Executive governor of
Oyo State, Senator Abiola Ajimobi at the just concluded National Assembly
elections four days ago was a collective responsibility and not the handiwork
of PDP and her members in the South Senatorial district alone.
This was contained in a press release made available to
newsmen in Ibadan on Sunday by the Governorship Candidate of the Party, Deacon
Tolulope Adedoyin.
According to the release “Makinde or members of Oyo PDP shouldn’t
take the glory for themselves. God, Atiku, people of the Senatorial district
and some opposition parties like us should be given the glory. It is on record
that when Makinde was in SDP, he didn’t win any Assembly Seat or House of Rep.
Dr. Muhammed Kola Balogun couldn’t defeat Senator Abiola Ajimobi if Atiku was
not running under PDP. Dr. Muhammed Kola Balogun didn’t campaign or spend much
compared to Senator Ridwan Adesoji and Senator Abiola Ajimobi. It was grace he
received from God. The same grace
Senator Ridwan received from God in 2015. Right from day one that Senator
Abiola Ajimobi expressed his interest in contesting for the senatorial
election, APA was the first party to protest against such interest. We in APA still believed Makinde is not yet
ripe for governance in the state.”
“The election of Atiku has gone. Now it’s governorship and
house of assembly. Makinde shouldn’t expect what happened in NASS elections to
happen in the governorship election. Oyo state needs an experienced and well
qualified candidate.”
APA finally urged the good people of Oyo state to stay calm,
study different governorship candidates with their programmes as governorship
campaign resumes and vote their conscience.
