The Senator representing Oyo South District, Rilwan Adesoji Akanbi has declared that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), was not perturbed by the re-grouping of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) stalwarts to capture the state in 2019. Akanbi challenged the APC to come together and ensure “the continuity of progressives in power in the state beyond 2019”. Akanbi, however, warned against the infiltration of non – progressive elements into the ruling APC in the state, saying such might jeopardize the desire to produce a progressive governor in 2019.

He said “I am one of those who sustained progressives in Oyo state. I remained in the progressive until we came back to power in 2011. I used my resources, my time and my energy to keep the pr

Oyo State Governor Abiola Ajimobi yesterday said he would not depose Olubadan of Ibadan, Oba Saliu Adetunji. Ripples over installation of new kings has prompted Ibadan youths to call on President Muhammadu Buhari to prevail on the governor not to make any pronouncement that could further puncture the peace in the city.

He said: “I assured him that come rain, come shine, I will never depose the Olubadan because he is a father; and a son does not depose his father. Even though he has done so many things that could be used to remove him, I will never remove him. We have to continue to show respect. “I also made him to realise that, that particular chieftaincy declaration is being politicised; politicians have hijacked it. Of 11 council members, two of them are dead, and we have nine remaining. It is only one who is not suppor
