Makinde was the governorship candidate of the SDP in 2015, while Akala won governorship election in 2007 under the PDP. Alao-Akala is famous among teachers and civil servants, for whom he had his own kind of “stomach infrastructure” when he was a deputy governor and governor. Apart from Governor Ajimobi, he enjoys the support of the powers that be in Ibadan, especially, associates of the late Chief Alao Arisekola. Indeed, they pulled out of the Accord, Labour Party and the PDP at the same time to form ADC in Oyo State. For Ajimobi’s supporters, Oyo State people will not forget in a hurry how he changed the face of governance through provision of infrastructure.
