Ibadan-born legal luminary, Chief Niyi Akintola (SAN) has visited the Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi to intimate him of his intention to contest the governorship seat of Oyo State.

In his remark, Oba Adeyemi said that there may be no solution to brazen impunity, monumental corruption, escalation of poverty of the people as well as unemployment which is characterized by irresponsible leadership in the country, unless political parties brace up and have a rethink on the way they operate.

strong gate keeper in the politics of Oyo State that cannot be ignored by any intelligent and right thinking individual or group.

He, however,  pledged to tenaciously hold on to the dignity and autonomy of traditional rulers in the state if voted into power, saying that  his concern primarily was how to improve the socio-economic lives of the people and ensure transformation of the state to a world class status.
