2023: Accord, others plan coalition against Makinde

Chief Adebayo Adelabu, an Accord candidate for governor in Oyo State's 2023 elections, promises to organise a coalition against Seyi Makinde, the current governor.

Adelabu is the Agbaakin Parakoyi of Ibadanland and a former deputy governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria.

He made a comment during a press conference on Tuesday in Ibadan.

According to The News Agency of Nigeria, Adelabu announced his seven-point strategy during the programme, calling "SERVICE" the key to the state's grandeur.

Adelabu said: “There is the possibility of a coalition against the incumbent governor, and I hope to lead the candidates in the coalition.

“I see a possibility of a coalition.

“I see coalition partners coming together against the incumbent.

“We have high hopes that Accord will be the lead candidate.”

He said that the All Progressives Congress governorship candidate, Senator Teslim Folarin, was not in the race, saying Makinde was his party’s only opponent.

Adelabu, reeling out statistics, said that the Accord party already has from 500,000 to 600,000 votes in its kitty, assuring the people of his readiness to offer them quality service.

The governorship candidate said he never regretted resigning from the apex bank to venture into politics.

He says, “I want to be remembered for my contributions to the development of the state.”

Adelabu said that none of the other candidates, including the incumbent governor, had contributed to the state's economy more than he.

He said that his array of businesses, ranging from real estate to hospitality and farming, has no fewer than 3,000 employees, adding: “I never owed them salaries.”

Reacting to criticism that he once rated Makinde high for excellent performance, Adelabu said in the last three, and half years, Makinde had performed below 25 per cent.

He said: “I heard that some mischief makers said I commended Makinde and scored him 70 per cent.

“I never commended him at all.

“I don’t think there is anywhere he scored 25 per cent.

“I only scored him 70 per cent for completing the Moniya-Iseyin Road.

“Let me tell you that he scored below 25 per cent in general performance.”

Adelabu accused Makinde of crippling the state's economy and local government administration, saying: “Only a technocrat with vision can return the state to the path of greatness.”

The former CBN Deputy Governor expressed confidence that Accord would fill in the gap and take the state to the promised land of positively turning around the state economy.
