This was Akala's stance during his response to questions from newsmen after submitting his expression of interest and nomination forms at the national secretariat of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Abuja on Tuesday, September 11.
Akala stated: “I think the demolition of the radio station, was just due to a communication gap between the government and the owner of the radio station.
“And I want to tell you that; that has been resolved. I want to put it on record and I am not lying, I will tell you the truth. I own a radio station (Parrot FM, Ibadan) in Oyo State too. A similar letter was written to the radio station and it was submitted to me.
“When I saw it, I said look, go to the local level — I am talking about the management of the radio station and settle your issue. I think it was just a lack of communication and that has been resolved.”
In response to questions as to why he is seeking to return to power in the state, Akala said: “I came back because people want me to come back and I came back also because I want our party to win Oyo State.
"I don’t want Oyo State to go to any other party and I had said it when I was declaring my ambition that it is because we don’t want to toy with our chances at all.”
