The gubernatorial candidate of the PDP in Oyo State, Engr. Seyi Makinde yesterday while addressing a group of traders and artisans in Ibadan, the state capital said he does not need the support of Adebayo Alao Akala to defeat the APC candidate, Chief Bayo Adelabu, in the state. He said this while canvassing for the support of some sect of traders and market unions present at an event organized yesterday.
Seyi Makinde comments were probably a rejoinder to the recently released BBC video of Chief Adebayo Alao Akala who claimed that Seyi Makinde was a neophyte in the political circle, that he should go and begin from the preliminary stage and that he had never been a councillor, chairman, house of representative or senator before aspiring to become the governor of the state. In the same video, he further likened Makinde attempt at the governorship seat to the popular phrase - 'hop step and jump', that he is not fit to become the governor of the state.
Seyi Makinde at the organised event paraphrased most of Chief Adebayo Alao Akala comments and said he can do it alone despite the negative comments by former governor, Adebayo Akala. He went on to say that with the support of Abubakar Atiku and the PDP at large, he can move mountains in Oyo State. He thanked the people present at the event and asked them not to be disturbed with the negative comments of Chief Alao Akala as he will reach the promise land of Oyo State without the support of the former governor.
