Oyo Pdp, Acord Party (ladoja) Legislators-elect In Alliance Talks For Speaker by Nobody: 9:59am On May 05, 2011

House of Assembly members-elect on the platforms of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Accord Party (AP) in Oyo State have started holding alliance meetings.

They have held two of such meetings at a secret location in Ibadan, the state capital, in the last four days.

Sources said the legislators, who are meeting under the leadership of the only PDP senator-elect in the Southwest, are working on a merger of the seven AP legislators with the 12 produced by the PDP to form the majority that would produce the Speaker.

Of the 32 members of the House of Assembly, the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) produced 13, PDP produced 12 and AP produced seven.

It was also gathered that they are working on a possibility of the AP legislators decamping to the PDP, with the aim of returning the party’s control to former Governor Rashidi Ladoja, who left the PDP after futile efforts to secure the governorship ticket.

If the plan works, Ladoja would become Oyo PDP leader and possibly contest the 2015 governorship election.

Mr Yanju Adegbite, the director of publicity of the campaign organisation of the governor-elect, Senator Abiola Ajimobi, said they had the right to meet freely, but stated that any gang-up against the development of the state would not stand because the incoming government was enthroned by the majority of the people.

Adegbite was confident that all members of the House of Assembly would support Ajimobi to improve the state.

He said alliances were not strange in politics, pointing out that the legislators would not work against the interest of the electorate.

This is very good for governance in Nigeria , especially if the opposition HOA members are sincer and have the development of the state at their hearts. A speaker from the opposition will surely keep the governor on his toes and enable perform well. He will not get too comfrotable and perform well because he knows there is real competition.

Absolute monopoly of gevernance in Nigeria leads to no development, although there are few exceptions like LAgos and rivers.
