Oyo Action Alliance Candidate Olaigbe Denies Stepping Down

Olaniyi Olaigbe, the governorship candidate of the Action Alliance in Oyo State, has refuted rumors that he has stepped down in favor of another candidate, Comrade Titilola Sodo. In a statement released by his public relations officer, Akinwale Oluseyi, Olaigbe asserted that he has neither withdrawn from the gubernatorial race nor surrendered his mandate.

He highlighted that the publication of another candidate's name does not resolve the pending legal dispute regarding the party's leadership and the process that produced the candidacy. Olaigbe stated that it is premature to conclude the internal contest and called for respect for the judicial process.

He emphasized that unity within the party should be based on truth and due process, and that reconciliation should not imply that any party has conceded in the ongoing legal matter.
