Adebayo Alao-Akala, the former Governor of Oyo State, will contest for a seat in the Senate come 2015, but he has not decided on the platform (party) to contest.

Last year, there was an attempt by Alao-Akala to join the Accord Party, but the effort was later foiled by some inconclusive issues between him and leaders of the party.

Feelers reaching Global Village Extra also has it that there is a possibility for the Ogbomosho politician to defect to the All Progressives Congress, APC, if he would be given a Senatorial slot.

Alao-Akala’s poster has  flooded some parts of the state, though it doesn’t carry the logo of any party.

In his comment, he said “I am still consulting. When you want to make such decisions, you must consult and after that, the decision will be made public. I will soon make a decision and everybody will be carried along on what I intend to do.

“The people who are interested in me are the ones behind the posters. They are the ones telling the world that they believe in my leadership and still wants me.”
