A tantalising contest is in the offing in Oyo State as all the political parties and power brokers in the state have forged two broad coalitions behind the governorship candidates of the two leading parties
As the election has now been reduced to a two-horse race between Seyi Makinde of the PDP and Adebayo Adelabu of the APC, the battle has become even more intense.Earlier, Mr Makinde’s campaign received a boost when former governor and a key player in Ibadan politics, Rasheed Ladoja, collapsed his political structure to support his ambition. Mr Makinde and Ladoja have a history of political differences, which accounted for Mr Ladoja’s refusal to stay in the PDP after his return.
Others are Northern People’s Congress , Independent Democrats , Freedom and Justice Party , Mass Action Joint Alliance , Nigeria Elements Progressives Party , People’s Democratic Movement , Rebuild Nigeria Party and Democratic Peoples Party . Mr Akala is said to be the most popular politician in Ogbomoso and has never been beaten in the five local governments in the area. He has appealed to the people of Ogbomoso to follow him to the APC in the bid to emplace Mr Adelabu.
