Oyo State: ACN tackles Alao-Akala

[emezico]

The Oyo State chapter of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) has criticized media attacks by former Governor of the state, Adebayo Alao-Akala, on Governor Abiola Ajimobi's administration.

The state's Secretary, Mr. Wasiu Olatubosun, reacted to publication by the Alao-Akala spokeman, Mr. Dotun Oyelade.

"The ACN finds it worrisome that some people after losing a popular election would be hell-bent on making the state ungovernable by sponsoring chaos among residents as well as continuing with media attacks against the person of the governor.

"Oyelade had, by his article, re-emphasised the vicious intent of the Alao-Akala group to frustrate the present administration in all fronts simply because Ajimobi and the ACN rose to the challenge of ending bad governance in the pacesetter state as supported by the electorate who voted the PDP government out of power.

"It is time Alao-Akala and his acolytes changed their way by appealing to the people of the state for forgiveness having wasted their enormous resources in the last couple of years.

"It is even disturbing to note that Alao-Akala keeps telling the public that he managed properly the financial resources of the state while in government while it was indeed the many cases of wasteful spending and official recklessness that turned the people against him even before he was forced on them in 2007.

"In a matter of days, the world would be made to see the clear picture of immeasurable cases of official corruption which his government engaged in while it would be revealed to the world how he wasted about N400bn in just four years," Olatubosun said.

N400bn in four years! If this allegation is true about Alao-Akala's administration, EFCC should be invited, as soon as the allegations is comfirmed!

The way he hurriedly embarked on projects, during the last days of his administration, is suspicious.
