Post Tribunal Verdict: Ajimobi, Akala In Secret Meeting
Barely 24 hours into the announcement of the election tribunal upholding the victory of the Oyo State Governor, Senator Abiola Ajimobi came a clandestine meeting between the Governor and his predecessor, Otunba Bayo Alao-Akala in what many called ‘thank you dinner’ in honor of Chief Akala.
Akala was among other top five contenders who slugged it out with Ajimobi to wrestle the control baton of the State from him. He was the flagbearer of the Labour Party which he joined when he dumped the PDP after losing the party ticket to Senator Teslim Folarin.
Many political observers in Oyo State believed that Otunba Akala was instrumental to the victory of Governor Ajimobi in the polls. The former Governor was alleged to have silently canvassed for votes for Ajimobi in his stronghold of Ogbomoso and other areas of the State where he was popular during the election.
Another strong indication of his alliance with Governor Ajimobi was the expectation of the people that Akala would also bring out evidence like Senator Rasheed Ladoja to challenge Ajimobi’s victory at the tribunal which he failed to do.
Akala and Ajimobi were said to have both had an agreement with promises of delivery after the tribunal pronouncement and the dinner they had together at the Government House, Agodi Ibadan led credence to the story already making the rounds.
The dinner which held with strictly close aides of both the Governor and Akala in attendance was where they both discussed the agreement they already had.
A source privy to what transpired at the meeting told papermache that part of the request of Akala was for his daughter and two of his aides to be appointed as Commissioners, while his young son would also be allowed to contest for chairmanship in his Local Government.
Governor Ajimobi’s request was solely for a support for whoever he chooses to present as his successor in 2019.
Public opinion has favoured three people to succeed Governor Ajimobi considering their strength politically, the support they get and their popularity in the State while people also understand that an alliance of Ajimobi and Akala will work well for any candidate they both support.

All The Shocking Details As PDP Declares Adedamola Osun Flagbearer, Beats Gov Adeleke in Tense Primary
In a dramatic twist that has sent shockwaves through Osun’s political landscape, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has declared Hon. Adebayo Adedamola as its governorship flagbearer after a fiercely contested primary that saw him defeat incumbent Governor Ademola Adeleke.
The keenly watched primary, held amid heavy security and intense party interest, drew party delegates from across the state. What many expected to be a smooth victory for the governor turned into a tightly fought race, with Fryo gaining momentum during delegate consultations and strategic bloc alignments.
According to party officials, Fryo clinched the majority of valid votes after what they described as a transparent, credible, and highly competitive exercise. His supporters erupted in celebration as the final tally was announced, chanting solidarity songs and hailing what they called “a new direction for Osun PDP.”
Adedamola, popularlcy called Fryo is said to be a close ally of APC stalwart, Iyiola Omisore. Fryo was among the people arrested over the killing of late Attorney General, Chief Bola Ige.
Political analysts say the upset signals a significant shift within the party’s power structure, as the result reflects growing agitation for fresh leadership and a repositioning of the party’s influence across local government blocs.
Governor Adeleke, who had sought the party’s ticket to secure a second term, was said to have congratulated Fryo in a closed-door exchange, though members of his camp are still digesting the unexpected outcome.
Fryo, in his acceptance speech, promised to unify the party, consolidate on its achievements, and present a formidable front ahead of the general elections. He described his victory as “a mandate for renewal” and urged party faithful to rally behind him for what he termed the decisive battle ahead.
With this development, all eyes are now on how the PDP navigates the post-primary atmosphere and prepares for a heated governorship election season in Osun State.
