The gubernatorial candidate of Labour Party (LP) in the off-cycle governorship election in Edo State tomorrow September 21 has dispelled wicked rumour of stepping down on the eve of election.
The former NBA Chairman in a press statement signed by him said “I AM STILL IN THE RACE”.
Recall that a statement has been flying that Olumide Osaigbovo Akpata has stepped down to support the Governorship candidate of People’s Democratic Party PDP.
In his reaction in the statement in the press release, he said;
“This falsehood is illustrative of the evil machinations of those who have held our state captive for a quarter of a century and demonstrates the shallowness that has characterized their governance style.
“Let me be unequivocally clear; I AM STILL IN THE RACE.
“The notion that I would have stepped down on the eve election after the overwhelming support received from the good people of our state borders on delusion.
“This pathetic attempt at deception is so amateurish that the Oluwole forgers could not even gel the date right, leaving July 29th 2024 on their fraudulent document. Such incompetence would be laughable if it were not so sinister in its intent.
“To the perpetrators of this fraud, your desperate tactics only express your fear”. He said
