According to a report by Sahara Reporters, leader of the All progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo State – including Abiola Ajimobi, Governor of the state – and their aides are “unhappy with Adebayo Adelabu, governorship candidate of the party, following his first public statement since losing the election.”
A source told SaharaReporters, that “the party leaders, the Governor, his aides and some other people are angry,”
“Did he single-handedly emerge the party’s candidate? In fact, the Governor’s aides have been talking about how they warned the party not to use the ‘arrogant’ Adelabu as the candidate.”
He was believed to have posted the message on his official Facebook page, as well as numerous Whatsapp groups to which he belongs.
Adelabu lost the March 9 governorship election to Seyi Makinde of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), winning only five of the 33 local governments in the state while Makinde won all the rest.
