Ex-Governor Adebayo Alao-Akala and APC Elders Advisory Council chairman has called on party members to abide by rules ahead of the Oyo congress slated for October 16.
The Nigerian leader has long ignored warnings that his brazen nepotism could further worsen the country’s fragile cohesion.
“Quite frankly, the governors are at the mercy of federal security agencies to implement certain laws.”
“Whatever this government is doing, we always stand up to try and see how to support them. It is not as if we will now go out to criticise them. We are not politicians.”
Residents in the state believed that aggrieved Fulani must have torched the building, as the home of a Fulani leader was reportedly razed.
The governor also prohibited movement of cattle within cities and highways across the state.
Herders’ activities around Oyo have recently become increasingly violent, as locals push back against encroachment on their lands.
