Following yesterday's PDP Primary election in Oyo state, a former Leader of the Nigerian senate, Senator Teslim Folarin emerged as candidate winning several others in the battle to unsit incumbent Abiola Ajimobi who had already gotten his party's nod.

As a direct consequence of the PDP primaries, a former Governor and aggrieved aspirant, Otunba Adebayo Alao Akala is reported to have dumped the party for the Labour party to ensure that he achieve his dream of returning to the Agodi government house.

BlackBox Nigeria also obtained that another former Governor, Chief Rasheed Adewolu Ladoja also on Monday emerged the candidate of the Accord party in the state. Ladoja was unopposed in the party primaries but was still made to pass through a confirmation from delegates afterwhich he polled a total of 1,692 votes.

As the February 2015 election draws nearer, it is expected that the Oyo scenario would be an interesting watch due to the influential individuals involved in the contest.‎
