The battle for the oyo Apc Governorship ticket gets interesting as Bayo Adelabu, the retired Deupty Governor is not sparing anything to step into the big shoes of Governor Abiola Ajimobi.
Bayo, who engages in hospitality,property and forex bussiness is said to be ready to give it whatever it will take. Few weeks after he resigned, he toured all the local government and immediately he finished, 150 million naira was donated to all the Local government executives in the state. Secondly, he signed a marketing communications company and shelled out 250million naira,therefore,he is undoubtedly on a ‘ *3 to 1’* in terms of visibility to every other Aspirant in Oyo today.
Now that the direct primaries is said to be deployed, the Bayo Adelabu campaign organisation has set aside a whopping 1billion naira for the exercise and a source close to the campaign declares that money is not a difficulty. Unlike the rumor that the Governor has dumped him and has another candidate because he can’t trust bayo has been noted as all lies as Ajimobi is our father and all the Aspirants his children .
