Oyo State Chapter of the ruling
All Progressive Congress (APC), has hailed former Governor of the state,
Senator Rasidi Adewolu Ladoja for jettisoning the dream of contesting the 2019
gubernatorial election.
APC noted that the decision to
abandon his governorship ambition was more honourable for the ex-governor than
another disgraceful performance.
The party also said that the
statement credited to Senator Ladoja that he was interested in being the
Olubadan vindicated its earlier position that the former governor was the brain
behind the crisis over the Olubadan Chieftaincy Declaration.
APC in a statement on Tuesday by
its Director of Media, Research and Strategy, Dr. AbdulAzeez Olatunde said that
it would have been more interesting to have Senator Ladoja among the
gubernatorial candidates for the 2019 election, noting that the path towed by
the former governor not to contest was also an honourable one being an elder
statesman.
The party said that it would have
been interesting to have Senator Ladoja disgraced again in order to permanently
affirm his political extinction.
APC explained that “The defeat
suffered by Senator Ladoja and Accord Party in the hands of our party in 2015
threw him into political oblivion. We are interested in permanently sealing it
in 2019 if he contests again but God has saved him with his decision not to
contest again.
“Senator Ladoja’s defection to
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), confirmed the precarious situation we left
Accord Party after the 2015 polls. Senator Ladoja’s claim that he won the 2015
election shows that he is yet to fully recover from the shock he suffered in
2015. No doubt, his party, Accord Party, cannot recover from the loss, hence,
the defection of its leader.
“We wish Senator Ladoja the best
sojourn in PDP and we want to appeal to him to stop politicizing the Olubadan
review. He said it himself that Olubadan is a local issue. He should walk his
talk not doing something that negates his preaching. He is welcome in his new
found endeavor to be the PDP National Chairman and we are ready for him and his
new party in the forthcoming elections”.
