IBADAN—With less than one month to the party primaries, and two days to their ward congresses across the nation, Oyo State Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, governorship aspirants are making moves for political realignment.
One of such moves came from former Governor Adebayo Alao-Akala’s camp on Tuesday, at the Molete, Ibadan residence of Chief Adigun Irawo, staunch member of the party and a leader from Oyo North Senatorial District.
In attendance at the meeting were five of the seven PDP aspirants of Ibadan extraction, otherwise known as G7, with two other front line politicians from Okeogun area (Dr. Saka Balogun and Chief Adetoro) with another Ibadan indigene, Chief Nureni Akanbi, who is not necessarily an aspirant.
The focus of the meeting, according to our source, was with a view to persuading the Ibadan five aspirants to align with Akala’s camp for the next governorship election.
