The lawmaker, representing
Saki West Constituency, said this while speaking with the Nigerian
Tribune at the weekend, disclosing that the national leadership of PDP
headed by Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu was doing everything to bring back Senator
Ladoja into the PDP which he left to form the Accord Party in 2011.
According to Honourable Adekunle, having Ladoja as an accomplished politician back will brighten the chances of the PDP and make the party have a clean sweep of the poll in Oyo State in 2015.
“Well, they are doing that at the federal level. I am an apostle of Ladoja should come back campaign to the party and I believe he is coming back. He is the only person who can rock the boat, most especially in Ibadan. If we have him, the chances of winning the 2015 poll are very high for PDP.
“It is only that I want to believe that if Accord does it alone, such may
produce the same result as it happened in 2011, but if we could have the combination, it is only give and take, we would be able to wrest power from APC in the state,” he said.
Speaking further, the Oyo Assembly minority leader stated that his party would ensure that it fielded a candidate from Ibadan in order for it to win the governorship seat in 2015.
Adekunle, who argued that Ibadan holds the ace in determining the outcome of any electoral contest because of its huge population size, said the PDP would try and field an Ibadan man as its governorship candidate in the 2015 poll.
According to him, if the PDP fields an Ibadan and has an overwhelming majority votes from Ogbomoso and Oke-Ogun and also some votes from Oyo, it will emerge victorious.
“Yes, we are trying that, the PDP will try and field an Ibadan man. If we field an Ibadan man and we have an overwhelming majority votes from Ogbomoso, we have from Oke-Ogun, we have some from Oyo, we will emerge victorious.
“I believe that if the three political parties in the state, namely the PDP, APC and the Accord as well as even the Labour Party could have their candidates from Ibadan, I believe the votes in Ibadan will be shared and any of the candidates that have the sympathy of the people will eventually win,” he argued.
