The governorship candidate in a statement by his spokesman Olawale Rasheed on Friday debunked the rumour which claimed he has been persuaded to step aside for his opponent, Omisore, against the Saturday election. “Senator Adeleke did not attend any meeting with General Olusegun Obasanjo or Senator Iyiola Omisore. Olawale further urged the people of Osun State to reject any fake claims that the governorship candidate has stepped aside for another person. “Senator Adeleke remains the PDP candidate. Adeleke will be contesting against the All Progressives Congress candidate, Gboyega Oyetola, the governorship candidate of Action Democratic Party (ADP), Alhaji Moshood Adeoti, the candidate of African Democratic Congress (ADC), Alhaji Fatai Akinbade and also SDP candidate, Iyiola Omisore.
