Indications are rife that former governor of Oyo State, Chief Adebayo Alao-Akala, may dump the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) ahead of the 2015 general elections, Nigerian Tribune reports.

A source close to the former governor told Nigerian Tribune that Alao-Akala is fed up with the turn out of events in the party as some members are desperate to hijack the party structure.

This, the source said, was not healthy for the party, adding that Alao-Akala supporters may force him to join another political party.The source added that the former governor considered as unfortunate, the way the national body of the party was taking sides  with his opponents within the party.Akala’s grouse with the national leadership of the party stems from the way the ward congress held on Monday in the state was allegedly manipulated.It was gathered that Akala travelled to Abuja on Wednesday evening, after he got a hint that the outcome of the ward congress would not favour me.


Another supporter of the former governor  told Nigerian Tribune that he was sure other supporters would definitely move with him to any party of his choice, if the appropriate authorities in the party fail to put things in order.

He said Alao-Akala may dump the party because of the injustice meted to him at the two ward congresses held in the state.

Meanwhile, there are speculations that Accord Party, APC and Labour Party (LP) may be wooing the former governor.It will be recalled that Alao-Akala recently boasted that the PDP in Oyo state is finished without him.
