However, Mr. Akeredolu after his re-election had stated that he at some certain time has to prayed for his then Deputy to leave their party, the All Progressive Congress (APC), so that he can have all power to fight him politically.

Akeredolu stressed that it was very bad for someone to co-inhabit a house with a snake, he said: “When I saw his movements and body language, I already knew that the man has made up his mind to go, I was praying fervently for him to go, and I’m so glad that God eventually answered my prayers and he left our party for ZLP”.
Akeredolu further said: “You cannot have someone who would be there and would be ready to stab you at the back and you would leave him. You cannot have a snake under your roof and you think that you can sleep well in that same house.  It would be good for the snake to go so that you can stay and sleep with all your closed.
“The incident has actually taught me another lesson in politics. Though it is not a new thing. It has happened over and over.
” During those days, in the South-West, even in the North. Look at the case of Baba Awolowo and Akintola. We also have the case of Omoboriowo and Ajasin. You can even talk of Bola Ige and Afolabi. There are so many other instances.” Akeredolu stressed.
