Alao-Akala, who stated this at
his Ogbomoso residence on Tuesday when members of the Peoples Democratic Party
in the five local government councils in the town came to adopt him for the forthcoming
governorship election in the state, said the people of the state were yearning
for his second coming.
After serving as the state's Deputy Governor under the then Governor Rasidi Ladoja between 2003 and 2007, Alao-Akala
governned the state from 2007 to 2011 before losing the bid to retain the governorship seat to Abiola Ajimobi in 2011 elections.
While speaking about the ambition
of other PDP governorship aspirants in the state, the former governor noted
that they would all have to queue behind him, insisting that he remains the
strongest among them.
He also cautioned against
overblowing the skirmishes within the state PDP, adding that the party has an
internal mechanism to address the wrangling.
Mr. James Oyewusi, a PDP leader
in Ogbomoso, who announced Alao-Akala’s adoption, said besides the popularity
of the former governor, they are throwing their weight behind him to make good their
promise to support any of their kinsmen who signifies intention to run for one
political post or the other.
The people are members of the Ogbomoso
South, Ogbomoso North, Oriire, Ogo-Oluwa and Surulere local government areas of
the state.
They said they were going to
liaise with other zones in the state to ensure that the former governor
eventually emerges the party’s standard-bearer as well as wins the election in
2014.
