Only A Council Of State Meeting Can Rescue Oyo State From Insecurity – Alao Akala

Ex Oyo State Governor, Alao Akala has come out to urge Gov. Seyi Makinde to convene a council of state meeting to brainstorm on the security challenges facing the state.

Alao-Akala recently revealed this in an interview with newsmen after an expanded meeting of APC Elders Advisory Council at his residence in Ibadan.

According to him, a council meeting that comprises of all ex-governors of the state both, uniformed and civilian, is necessary at this point to rescue Oyo State from any future doom.

He added that a council of state meeting is a statutory organ of government and its function includes advising the executive in policymaking, so such gathering will make sense right about now.

His words, “A council of state meeting comprising of all former governors of the state both uniformed and civilian is necessary at this point to save our dear state from total collapse, security-wise.”

“A council of state meeting is a statutory organ of government and its function includes advising the executive in policymaking,”

“Take for instance, at the national level, the President meets periodically with former heads of state, former presidents, former Chief Justices amongst others at the Nigerian Council of state meeting.”

“The meeting is aimed at reviewing activities of government and seeking for advise or interventions where need be.”

“This is exactly what he needs in Oyo state at the moment, the peace and stability of Oyo state is a collective responsibility of all, we are all stakeholders in the Oyo state Project.”
