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.
“Christmas gives us the opportunity to pause and reflect on the important things around us. Just like you, fellow citizens, I acknowledge the worrisome developments in all the sectors of the Oyo state economy. I’m worried when my people are worried; I am happy when my people are happy.
“As we remember the good governance witnessed from 2007 to 2011 in Oyo state under my watch, I encourage you to remain strong in the face of hardships that the APC administration brings you since 2011.
“I offer to lead people of like minds to rescue Oyo state from the self-serving leaders under the banner of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
“My dear people, the pains you have been experiencing in almost 8 years, you shall see them no more when you give us your mandate in the 2019 elections. With ADP, you have a brightest hope for the future.
“We do not need a soothsayer to tell us that Oyo state has lost her status as a Pacesetter in the country despite our abundant resources. I am well determined to take the state from nadir to the apex of genuine governance again. Join me to build a stronger and economically successful Oyo state,” Alao Akala said.
