The Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), Oyo state chapter, has challenged the former Chairman of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) Alhaji Lateef Akinsola (a.k.a Tokyo) to tell the whole world, in specific terms, what work he did for Governor Abiola Ajimobi in the 2011 elections that could warrant his ceaseless shouts to that effect.
The party made this known in a release signed by its Publicity Secretary, Hon. Dauda Kolawole.
According to the party, to the best of its knowledge, Akinsola was never a card-carrying member of the ACN, nor was he any of its political leaders who could effectively lay claim to the victory of the party in the last gubernatorial election in the state.
“As far as we are concerned, Tokyo is just a frustrated man who is attempting to clutch at straw and reap where he did not sow. He should face his travails headlong in the hands of the state which had declared him wanted and in the hands of the NURTW body which does not want a remembrance of his Satanic leadership of the union. Neither ACN nor the leader of our party in Oyo State, Senator Abiola Ajimobi, is responsible for his woes,” the ACN said.
While maintaining that the people of the state who sacrificed their all and queued inside the scorching sun on the day of the election were more significant than Akinsola in sacrifices for the ACN and Governor Abiola Ajimobi, the party urged the former NURTW kingpin to take his life travails in his strides.
