Senator Ladoja travelled out of the country on Sunday night and met behind closed-doors for long hours with Chief Alao-Akala who was already in the United Kingdom.
Sources confided in Sunday Tribune that the meeting was a follow-up to several ones held behind closed-doors by the two ex-governors in Ibadan and Ladoja’s farm in Ogbomoso.
It was gathered that the duo discussed the disengagement of Accord Party members in the administration of Governor Abiola Ajimobi with Ladoja dismissing the decision as inconsequential and nothing to lose sleep over.
Ladoja was said to be preparing a reply to Governor Ajimobi’s letter in which he announced the disengagement of Accord Party’s members from his government.
They were said to have berated the administration over the non-conduct of council poll in the state almost two years after the governor was sworn in.
Sunday Tribune was reliably informed that the former governors, who reconciled shortly after the 2011 elections, struck an agreement and strategised towards the 2015 elections.
Alao-Akala has been speculated to be eyeing the Oyo North Senatorial ticket on the platform of the Accord Party in 2015, should he fail to get the ticket in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
A former close ally of Alao-Akala and only PDP Senator in the South-West region, Senator Hosea Agboola, is said to be nursing a second term in the Red Chamber in 2015.
While Ladoja is expected back in the country on Monday (tomorrow), Alao-Akala is expected to return later in the week.
