NNPP's Adedapo Challenges ADC's Adegoke on Election Claims
Adebiyi Adedapo, the governorship candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) in Oyo State, responded to Adegboyega Taofeek Adegoke, the candidate from the African Democratic Congress (ADC), who referred to himself as the "beautiful bride" among major candidates for the 2027 governorship election. Adedapo dismissed Adegoke's assertion as "careless and premature," emphasizing that it is the electorate who will decide which candidates are considered major.
He warned against any attempts by candidates to intimidate others by self-declaring their significance. Adedapo criticized Adegoke's reliance on a contested party ticket, which is currently facing legal challenges, and stated that candidates embroiled in such controversies should focus on defending their legitimacy rather than attempting to bully opponents.
He reiterated that there are no major or minor parties in the eyes of the law, only candidates seeking votes from the public.
