I Am Still In This Race, Olumide Akpata debunks rumours of stepping down
Olumide Akpata, Labour Party candidate in the Sept. 21 Edo Governorship Election says he is still in the race to become governor of the state.
Akpata stated this in Benin on Friday, while debunking a publication that he had stepped down from the governorship race.
He said the publication was the handiwork of fraudulent politicians.
He urged Edo people to disregard the publication, noting that: I AM STILL IN THIS RACE.
” I have been inundated with a flood of calls and messages from friends and supporters, which constrains me to release this statement to dispel the wicked rumour circulating that I have decided to step down and support the PDP candidate in tomorrow’s governorship election.
“The notion that I would step down on the eve of the 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 get the date right, leaving “July 29, 2024″ on their fraudulent document.
He urged journalists to report the facts accurately and diligently verity information before publication.
He also vowed to fish out the architects of the forgery, “I will not rest until I uncover every individual involved in this criminal act.”
