Ahead of the March 18 governorship election, the Accord candidate in Oyo State, Oloye Adebayo Adelabu, has debunked reports making rounds that his party has agreed to support the incumbent governor of the state, Engr Seyi Makinde.
Adelabu, who stated this in a short video poster on his Instagram page, described the decision taken by the Accord state chairman, Price Ojo Kolade, and the state secretary, Mr Yinka Dairo, as laughable and unfortunate.
“I want to use this medium to debunk the press statement by some members of Accord Oyo State executives that chose to support Gov Seyi Makinde. This betrayal is merely a reflection of the monetary inducement from the opposition party.
“I also want to affirm that I’m still contesting in the election and victory is certain with majority of the state excos still with us as well as national executives,” he said.
