Chief Ifedayo Adedipe, the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, for Ondo Central Senatorial District, and Princess Kemisola Adesanya, the Akure South/North Federal Constituency, have distanced themselves from the news going around that they were supporting Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
It was due to the flood of campaign posters of Tinubu which had photographs of Adedipe and Adesanya, insinuating that the PDP candidates have endorsed the APC presidential candidate in the state capital, Akure.
Reaction to this, “We are here to further respond to posters pasted within Akure metropolis displaying our pictures with those of the APC presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, purportedly designed and pasted by a group of people called Akure Progressive Forum. We will like to say with emphasis that this group is unknown to us.
We are candidates for the Peoples Democratic Party and have no connection whatsoever with the said group.”
“Although we welcome support from members of other political parties who believe in our personalities and ability to represent them well at the National Assembly, our belief in and support for our great party and its presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar is total, unalloyed, and unflinching,” they stated.
