Two gubernatorial candidates of two political parties have withdrawn from the race with less than 24 hours to go.
Dr. Oluwadare Bada
The governorship candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP),
Dr. Oluwadare Bada, has withdrawn from tomorrow’s governorship election
in Ondo State.
Bada made this known in a press statement he made available to
journalists in Akure through the Director of Media of his Campaign
Committee, Mr. Abiodun Oluwarotimi, yesterday.
In the statement, the NNPP candidate who is also an Akure native
said he decided to withdraw from the race owing to community pressure
from his primary constituency.
He, however, advised all his canvassers and polling agents to withdraw from further participation in the election.
Bada also noted that necessary information had been passed to the
party’s accredited leaders for onward transmission to all his
supporters.
It would be recalled that on Wednesday, the Action Alliance (AA)
governorship candidate Mr. Yinka Orokoto withdrew from the race and
collapsed his structure with that of the Alliance for Democracy (AD).
About 26 political parties are jostling for the number one position in the Sunshine State with just 4 top contenders.
