IBADAN—A notable chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Oyo State, Senator Lekan Balogun has said the coming together of the two ex-governors in the state, Senator Rashidi Ladoja and Otunba Adebayo Alao-Akala will plunge them into political irrelevance.
He described as grave error for both former governors to have failed to make due consultation before engaging in ‘marriage of convenience’.
Balogun said: “Alao-Akala failed to consult with those who worked for him during the impeachment that paved way for him to be the Governor in his first 11 months, while Ladoja did not deem it fit to seek the opinion of those who stood by him.
“What they are doing is mere facade. They thought the fact of being former governors in the state is enough to give their coming together any political boost?
“Let us wait and see. The truth is that the two of them put together cannot equal one in politics,” he said.
On the formation of the All Progressive Congress, he said the union would soon fail.
“The union will not last. The motive behind the formation of APC is self-serving. The leaders are being driven by self interest and unbridled ambition. So the union is bound to collapse.
“Why could they not agree on the composition of the leadership structure? That is to tell you that they are not likely to agree on more sensitive issues that will surface as time goes by,” he said.
