Akala Joins Labour Party
Akala moved to Labour party alongside thousands of his supporters yesterday evening, after a meeting at his Bodija residence, Ibadan. He said the decision was made based on the demand by his supporters to quit the PDP after the injustice allegedly meted out on them before the gubernatorial primaries in the state.

In a press statement released to journalists on his behalf by his media aide, Mr Abraham Ojo, it read:“Thousands of supporters of the former governor stormed the Bodija residence to delibrate on the way forward, after the injustice meted to him by the PDP.
“After series of meetings and discussions, they all decided to dump the PDP and move to an alternative party, which is Labour Party.”
Among the party leaders at the meetings are past commissioners, local government chairmen, among others.
They came to a conclusion that there was no need for them to remain in the PDP, because the party had refused to adhere to its rules and regulations.

“Everybody in the state knows that Alao-Akala and his supporters are strong pillars that hold the party and if a genuine delegate congress is conducted, Alao-Akala will always win, but since the national secretariat has given in to the manipulations of the minotity in the party, we have no option but to quit,” the statement said.
Ojo also denied that Alao-Akala participated in the PDP gubernatorial primary election in the state saying his boss had made his intention to quit the party known since Sunday, after meeting with his teeming supporters in Ogbomoso.
“It is laughable and ridiculous to say Alao-Akala scored two votes in the primaries he did not even particiapte in. He is a political giant who has been a bride to all political parties in the state since the PDP travails started,” he concluded.
Nigerian monitor reports that posters of the former governor are already in various parts of the city.
