The governorship candidate of the Labour Party in Oyo State, Adebayo Alao-Akala, has dismissed a rumour that he has withdrawn from the Saturday’s election.
Akala, also a former Oyo governor, warned those peddling the rumour to desist from such act.
The former governor spoke through the Director of Public Affairs of his campaign team, Mr. Oludare Ogunlana, at a press conference in Ibadan on Tuesday.
Alao-Akala berated Governor Abiola Ajimobi for saying that inadequate and delayed allocation from the Federal Government was responsible for his failure to carry out some capital projects.
Ogunlana said, “Let me start by saying that our candidate, Otunba Adebayo Alao-Akala, is very much in the race; he has not stepped down for anybody. We are very optimistic of victory in the Saturday’s election.
“It was irresponsible of the All Progressives Congress to blame paucity of funds for its under-performance at a time the government is winding up. No amount of lies will save Governor Abiola Ajimobi from defeat.
“We urge the people of the state to be firm in their bid to oust the incumbent administration which has inflicted pains and elevated their problems rather than alleviate it.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
