Candidate of the Labour Party in Ibadan North Federal Constituency in the just-concluded presidential and National Assembly elections, Femi Dexter Akin-Alamu, yesterday, said that the party had decided to support the re-election bid of Governor Seyi Makinde for Saturday’s governorship election.
He said: “After much thought, prayers and consultation with the leadership of Labour Party in the state, I, together with other leaders of the party in Oyo State, have decided to give our full and unreserved support to the person that we believe stands way above others in our assessment. He added: “I saw the need to meet with the governorship candidate of the Labour Party so as to understand his plans, vision and strategy in order to arm my convictions about his candidature so that we can go to work.
“Since a lot of people have accused our gubernatorial candidate of doing almost nothing to win his election, he was requested to tell the assembly his plans, vision, strategy and budget for the election. He was also requested to say how much he had to spend for the elections and if there was any shortfall between his budget and how much he had.“Unfortunately, the gubernatorial candidate was upset about the questions, and he thought the best thing to do was walk out on everyone.
