I AM STEPPING ASIDE NOT BOWING OUT. says Alao Akala

Former governor of Oyo State, Chief Adebayo Alao-Akala, said on Saturday that he had not lost anything, but was rather “stepping aside from governance.”

Alao-Akala stated this at the Government House, Ibadan, while speaking during a farewell dinner organised for him by the state government.

“I will never forget the people of Oyo State. My administration touched all sectors of the state economy,” he said.

He wished the incoming administration of Abiola Ajimobi of the Action Congress of Nigeria well.

He reiterated that his government did not borrow any money, saying, “We are debt free.”

“But we owe some contractors. The state government has money to pay them if only the incoming government will pay them.”
