As Oyo State approaches a pivotal moment in its political landscape, the choice of the next governor is crucial. Engr. Oyedele Hakeem Alao – Allow Alao stands out as a candidate who embodies the values, vision, and commitment necessary to lead the state into a prosperous future. Here are 20 compelling reasons why APC stakeholders, gatekeepers, and citizens of Oyo State should rally behind Allow Alao for the governorship:
- Allow Alao is street-smart, with sharp native intelligence and genuine empathy for his fellow human beings
- He has remained steadfast to the progressive family, unshaken from AD through to APC
- His paternal grandmother was a committed progressive to the very end. She served as treasurer of the Action Group in Akinyele Local Government from 1957, and continued with the Unity Party of Nigeria until 1984, when she voluntarily stepped down to make way for the younger generation
- Allow Alao has been the most recognized face and mouthpiece of the opposition to Governor Seyi Makinde’s administration in Oyo State
- He is a welfarist to the core
- He has always been a steadfast supporter of party initiatives. This was clear in the last election when the party’s ticket went to Teslim Folarin. While others abandoned the party, Alao stood firm and backed the candidate with everything he had. Egbon Teslim and other party members can attest to this.
- Like our President, who was trained at one of the world’s leading oil and gas firms, Mobil Producing, Alao was also trained and worked with Shell. Oyo State can therefore expect the same strong Asiwaju leadership qualities in Allow Alao.
- Just as Asiwaju rose to the pinnacle of his career at Mobil, Allow Alao also rose to the pinnacle of his career at Shell, PDO.
- While at Shell, he facilitated employment opportunities for many Nigerians.
- Just as Asiwaju served at Mobil with an unblemished record, Alao also served at Shell, PDO, with an unblemished record.
