Ladoja to Ajimobi, We will Chase you Out in 2015, 50 years bawo?

Fomer governor of Oyo State and National Leader of Accord Party (AP), Senator Rashidi Ladoja, yesterday hinted that a powerful coalition he tagged, “third force” is set to take out Governor Abiola Ajimobi in the next election in the state.

Governor Ajimobi had over the weekend boasted that the progressives would rule the “Pacesetter state” for the next 50 years and advised those he dubbed, “reactionary elements” to bury their ambitions.

But his cousin and Accord Party leader said a group of like- minded politicians, who he described as people-oriented, were in discussion on how to vote out the incumbent from office.

He spoke while featuring on Ibadan metropolitan private radio station, Splash FM programme, “Bull’s Eye” monitored in Ibadan. Although the politician was not categorical if he would contest the 2015 poll, he said he would not refuse if his party decided to field him.

“God has not yet given me the certificate that I will be alive by 2015, so, I can’t talk about contesting now. The party shall decide, who will contest in the next election, some months to the election. If the party decides I should contest, I will not refuse,” he said.

Ladoja denied any personal battle with Ajimobi, saying they only had differences on political issues and how the interest of the masses could be best served. According to him, the interest of the people, “should be uppermost and form the core of any government policy,” describing the newly built shops for traders whose stalls were demolished by the Ajimobi administration, as “medicine after death.” He said further on the programme: “We believe that governance must have human face, but they believe governance must be done with steel and iron hand and must be concrete.

We feel that we are right and he believes that he is right. That does not make us enemies. http://sunnewsonline.com/new/cover/well-take-ajimobi-out-in-2015-ladoja/
