Posted by Thandiubani on Fri 20th Sep, 2024 - tori.ng

The letter alleged that Akpata stepped down for the flag bearer of the Peoples Democratic Party, Asue Ighodalo.

 
The Labour Party has reacted to reports that its candidate for the Saturday gubernatorial election in Edo State, Olumide Akpata has stepped down.
 
The party debunked the report.
 
A fake letter had emerged online claiming that Akpata stepped down for the flag bearer of the Peoples Democratic Party, Asue Ighodalo.
 
However, when contacted by DAILY POST, the Edo State Chairman of the Labour Party, Kelly Ogbaloi, described the letter as fake.
 
According to him, “We cannot step down at this time. No, that’s not happening.

The letter was forged and we have debunked it already. LP candidates cannot at this time issue a letter that he is withdrawing from the race. We cannot resign. Akpata is very much in the race."
