The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has denied delisting Ladi Adebutu’s name as Governorship Candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), ahead of next Saturday, 18 March, 2023, election in Ogun State.
Reports were widely circulated on social media that the PDP has no governorship candidate in the election.
But the Residence Electoral Commissioner (REC) of INEC in Ogun State, Niyi Ijalaye, has dispelled the rumour, describing it as unfounded, baseless and figment of imagination.
Ijalaye, who spoke with newsmen on Sunday, 12 March, 2023 in Abeokuta, the state capital said, “It is a rumour that is not founded, that is all.”
The REC insisted that Adebutu remained the governorship candidate of the PDP in the state and called on residents of the state to ignore the baseless claim.
