The leader of the Action Congress of Nigeria in Oyo State, Alhaji Lam Adesina, has described the governorship candidate of the Accord Party, Senator Rashidi Ladoja, as unfit to return as the state governor.


Both of them are former governors of the state.


Ladoja took over from Adesina in 2003 when he contested on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party.


A statement by the ACN spokesman in the state, Mr. Matthew Oyedele, on Wednesday quoted Adesina as speaking during the party’s rally in Igboho, Oke-Ogun area of the state.


Adesina alleged that Ladoja had no moral credibility to become governor again because he destroyed his (Adesina’s) legacies.


He accused his successor of tampering with the state’s investments in the defunct Trans International Bank as well as taking some decisions, which he described as economically unwise decisions.


Ladoja had earlier attacked Adesina on Monday that the ACN leader achieved nothing while serving the state between 1999 and 2003.


He prided his administration on good performance, particularly in education, road rehabilitation, agriculture and welfare of civil servants among others.


But Adesina affirmed that Ladoja’s administration was enmeshed in financial scandal such that he should not, under a decent circumstance, be allowed to contest election again.
