The Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Olayiwola Adeyemi, has called on the leadership of the ruling All Progressives Congress, (APC) in Oyo State and at national levels to look favourably on Chief Adeniyi Akintola (SAN) as the next governor of the state.
Oba Adeyemi made this call yesterday in Oyo when the legal luminary paid him a courtesy visit at his palace.
Akintola whom the Monarch described as a formidable pillar in legal practice should be encouraged to vie for leadership across the three tiers of government in the country.
According to Oba Adeyemi Akintola who is knowledgeable and God-fearing individuals, had applied legal prowess to save situations for the progressives.
In his speech the Monarch said “If Akintola does not come out, someone else will. When the party chooses you, we know the next move.”
The Monarch who also lament about the attitude of some politicians told Akintola that “Some of those who have been made governors, ministers, commissioners are running into hiding today because they soon forgot what they were voted in for and deviated from the path. You have come to work. No rest till the last day.”
