Social Democratic Party (SDP) candidate in Ekiti governorship election, Engr. Segun Oni, has dismissed the rumour that he has withdrawn from the race.
In a statement on Saturday morning, Jackson Adebayo, Director of Media and Publicity, Segun Oni Campaign Organization, said there was no truth in the release earlier today, which claimed that the SDP candidate had withdrawn from the race.
Adebayo said “the fake release by the APC where they criminally forged Oni’s signature, was made to save their impending disgrace in today’s poll.”
Adebayo said, “The fear of APC from the beginning has been that should Segun Oni participate in this election their candidate will be disgracefully voted against hence they resorted to falsehood and forgery.”

“APC jittery, lies that Oni withdraw from race.
The attention of the media team of Asiwaju Segun Oni has been drawn to the fake release by the APC where they criminally forged Oni’s signature to safe their impending disgrace in today’s poll.
In the release the APC Media claimed that Asiwaju Segun Oni has withdrawn from today’s poll.
We want to say categorically that the release is a complete falsehood and forgery which the APC are known for.
The fear of APC from the beginning has been that should Segun Oni participate in this election their candidate will be disgracefully voted against hence they resorted to falsehood and forgery.
