A Senior Advocate of Nigeria and chieftain of All Progressive Congress (APC) in Oyo State, Chief Niyi Akintola has give a nod to the appointment of Chief Bayo Adelabu OFR as Ministerial Nominee from the pacesetter state.
Akintola while reacting to the grudges of APC members in the state said that, no one could come out and question the merit of Adelabu nomination as Minister.
According to him, he further stressed that “Bayo Adelabu is our own. He is a technocrat and a thoroughbred professional who earned and deserves his ministerial appointment and he would be a good ambassador of all of us in Oyo State.”
“Even our Governor who is from another political stable other than APC was requested to make him Oyo nominee by our leader the President.”
“The Governor told me and five other OYO STATE elites including a traditional ruler at a gathering. Two prominent members of APC were present when the Governor revealed this to us. Whether the Governor acceded to The request of the C-in – C , I wouldn’t know.”
“Adelabu is our collective candidate for the position and we should all congratulate him. He is going to be representing all OYO STATE indigenes at the FEC. The problem with some of our compatriots is that moment they get Federal Government Appointments they start seeing themselves as political leaders in the state.”
“Many don’t really care to appraise themselves before placing the toga of political leadership of the state on themselves. It really doesn’t add up in the politics of OYO STATE and in many other states in Nigeria. Some don’t know their limitations. In politics, knowing your limitations is very key and very important. My brother and big Aburo, congratulations. You earned the position and you deserve same.” He concluded.
