Olumide Akpata Step Down for Asue Ighodalo? Fake News
A misleading memo circulating on social media has falsely claimed that Olumide Akpata, the Labour Party’s governorship candidate in Edo State, has stepped down for rival Asue Ighodalo. Akpata has swiftly responded to these rumors, categorically denying their validity and assuring his supporters of his commitment to the campaign.
“This information is completely false,” Akpata stated in a recent communication. “I remain focused on our vision for a better Edo and will not be distracted by unfounded claims.” His assertion comes at a critical time, just hours before the election, emphasizing the importance of clarity and truth in the political arena.
As the election date approaches, Akpata has called on the people of Edo to unite and come out to vote for the Labour Party tomorrow, September 21, 2024. “Your vote is your power,” he stressed, urging citizens to actively participate in shaping their future.
