A former governor of Oyo State, Otunba Adebayo Alao-Akala,  would on Thursday formally  declare his intention to contest the governorship election in the state in 2015.
Alao-Akala told newsmen in Ibadan that he would make his intention known at a forum billed for the  Watershed Events Centre in the state capital.
The News Agency of  Nigeria (NAN) reports that Alao-Akala, an aspirant on  the platform of the PDP, would be seeking the governorship position  against the background of other aspirants from the ruling APC and the PDP.
The governorship aspirant, who is from Ogbomoso, said  he would hold a procession with his supporters round the capital  on Thursday morning before moving to the venue.
It would be recalled that Alao-Akala, who was elected as a deputy governor to former  Gov. Rashidi Ladoja in 2003, later  governed  the state between  2007  and  2011.(NAN)
