Governor Abiola Ajimobi and Bayo Adelabu, the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress in Oyo State on Monday morning took to their dancing steps at the end of the gubernatorial primary.
The governorship congress which was at the Lekan Salami Stadium, Ibadan, with a former Central Bank of Nigeria Deputy Governor, Adebayo Adelabu, emerging after other contestants stepped down for his candidacy.
After the likes of Joseph Tegbe, who was touted as Governor Abiola Ajimobi’s anointed candidate, and other aspirants willingly stepped down from the race, Adeniyi Akintola (SAN) refused to do so as he was adamant on a full primary. But as the election began, the legal icon announced his withdrawal from the race. Adelabu is the grandson of the Ibadan notable politician, Adegoke Adelabu, popularly known as Penkelemesi (peculiar mess).
A former governor in the state, Adebayo Alao-Akala, on Saturday earlier announced that he would not be part of the primary, saying Governor Ajimobi had perfected strategy to impose Tegbe on the party.
