IBADAN
— Former governor of Oyo State, Adebayo Alao Akala, yesterday, apologised to
the Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi asking him to forgive him and the
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, for the faulty steps he took against him
while he was in power.
Akala,
who mobilised thousands of members of the PDP to Oyo town, said the monarch
should just see his misdeeds as some excesses expected of a child.
Though,
the former governor did not spell out the said wrong-doings he apologised for,
but many pointed to the removal of the monarch as the permanent Chairman of the
state traditional council and the appointment of Alago of Ago Oja in his stead,
as some of the sins.
While
in Oyo town at Plaza de Aruna Hotel, Akala and his teeming supporters said the
king should forgive and forget, promising on behalf of the party to bring good
governance back to the state.
Akala
gave the public apology at the enlarged interactive meeting he held with the
members of the party in the Oyo Federal Constituency consisting of four local
government councils, namely, Afijio, Atiba, Oyo East and Oyo West.
Contrary
to public opinion that the ex-governor would contest on the platform of the
Accord Party, he said some people who called themselves, Panadol or Phensic,
people should not bother because PDP would sweep them away in 2015 elections.
