As the State Congresses of the All Progressives Congress (APC) draw nearer, former Oyo State Progressive Parliamentarians have thrown their weights behind former governor Adebayo Alao-Akala as the overall leader of the progressive party in the state.
The Former Oyo State Progressive Parliamentarians who served between 1991 to 2019, during a solidarity visit to Awosika residence of the former governor on Tuesday, urged Oyo APC Elders’ Advisory Council and seven (7) Zonal Leaders of the party to ensure equity, fairness and justice on their zoning decisions ahead of the state congress.
The Chairman of the ex lawmakers, Hon. Ibrahim Bolomope said, “the former Oyo State Progressive Parliamentarians who served between 1991 to 2019 and still within the progressive party recognise Your Excellency as the undisputed leader of APC in Oyo State”.
“As at today, Your Excellency is the only former governor in Oyo State APC. Therefore you remain our father and party leader. We are here to pass vote of confidence on your leadership of the party”.
The former lawmakers who took turn to speak, pledged their support for Alao-Akala.
Alao-Akala appreciated the visit of the ex lawmakers and assured that the Elders’ Advisory Council would work together with the zonal leaders of the party in order to come up with all-inclusive and acceptable zoning formula for the Saturday state congress of the party.
