OYO APC LEADERSHIP: YOU DON'T DEMAND RESPECT, YOU COMMAND IT -ALAO- AKALA -

By Jackson Udom

Former governor of Oyo State, Otunba Christopher Adebayo Alao- Akala, has reacted to stories making the rounds that he was not qualified to lead the state chapter of the All Progressives Congress(APC), saying, “those purveying the news are political neophytes and non-starters”.

The APC chieftain, who heads the state reconciliation process within the party, stated this in an exclusive interview with Pees reporters in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital

According to the former local government chairman,” I have read and heard comments by some politicians about the leadership of the party, after the untimely death of former governor Abiola Ajimobi, and I am not ready to join issues with them because they lack the political experience and exposure to understand that people command leadership and not demand it”.

Speaking further, the retired police officer said,” the purveyors of the rum our, to say the least, are political neophytes and non starters. I have not told nor begged anybody that I want to lead the party. The leadership of the party would emerge naturally. Those people are just privileged because they joined the party before me, not because they know what leadership is all about”.

” By the special grace of God, I have been whatever I had prayed to be in this state. I have paid my dues as a politician of note. Those running their mouths on party leadership are non starters. What is upper most in my mind now is to take the party out of the woods by making sure that peace and genuine reconciliation is achieved in the party ahead of future elections, ” he declared.
