Ondo state deputy governor and Candidate of the Zenith Labour Party, Agboola Ajayi has debunked rumour that he has withdrawn from the governorship poll holding today.
A letter has been flying in social media allegedly signed by him stating that he has withdrawn from the contest.
But reacting to it, Ajayi in a statement by his media aide, Allen Sowore described the rumour as another fake being peddled by Oluwarotimi Akeredolu’s media assistant, Leke Akeredolu, with sole aim of confusing the public.
The statement reads, “Again, the attention of the Deputy Governor and candidate of the Zenith Labour Party (ZLP), Agboola Ajayi has been drawn to a forged resignation letter from the Governorship Election holding today, Saturday- 10 October, 2020.
“Ondo State Governor and the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu SAN and his Media hirelings will not stop at nothing to peddle fake news. The latest is a forged letter posted by a pseudo account which Leke Akeredolu, Special Media aide to the governor is behind.
“This fake news being sponsored by the outgoing Governor and his cohorts. It’s not different from the earlier ones sponsored and paid for that the Zenith Labour Party’s Candidate, Agboola Ajayi is working with the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and its candidate, Eyitayo Jegede SAN.
“Nothing can be farther from the truth.
“For the umpteenth time, and for the purposes of clarity and emphasis, the Deputy Governor and candidate of ZLP, Agboola Ajayi will not resign or back out from the race he’s winning ultimately.
“The general public, members of our great party and most importantly the electorate should therefore disregard this latest antics of the drowning party, the All Progressives Congress (APC).
“Rather than moving around with the false news. Governor Akeredolu should be courageous enough to accept defeat in good faith.”
