Over the outcome of the APC primaries in Oyo State where Senator Teslim Folarin defeated former CBN Deputy-Governor, Chief Bayo Adelabu to clinch the governorship ticket of the party for next year's election are not cooling down soon.
Ibadan-based publication, Papermache online has quoted a source (a former Local Government Chairman) and one of Adelabu's boys to have alleged that the national secretary of the APC, Senator Iyiola Omisore received a brand new Mercedes Benz G-Wagon from Adelabu with a promise of supporting him and also getting him Asiwaju Bola Tinubu’s backing.
The aggrieved ex-LG boss, who claimed many people in their camp were furious when their principal, Adelabu lost the ticket and left the APC for Accord where he planned to actualise his ambition, demanded the return of the car gift from Omisore.
"It was obvious that the primaries were marred with irregularities. Folarin couldn’t have won, but they changed the names of the delegates, and Omisore who promised to help us present a good case didn’t do anything! He should just return the car gift, at least we’ve left the party for them", the man was quoted.
Days before his defection to Accord Party, Adelabu in a letter addressed to the leadership of the APC after the primaries voiced his anger at what he described as a ‘daylight robbery’ that translated to the ‘jagba’ tactics of Senator Teslim Folarin and he vowed to seek legal redress on the matter.
