Olufemi Lanlehin, governorship candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Sharafadeen Alli, governorship candidate of the Zenith Labour Party (ZLP), and Bolaji Ayorinde, candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), have stepped down their ambitions to govern Oyo State, for Seyi Makinde of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Sources told SaharaReporters that the politicians decided to support the PDP candidate in the interest of the state.
A media aide to Lanlehin, who confirmed his principal’s decision, said the position was based on the premise of “rescuing the state”.
The decision to support Makinde comes days after Alao Akala, governorship candidate of the Action Democratic Party (ADP), decided to pitch his tent with Adebayo Adelabu of the All Progressives Congress (APC). (SaharaReporters)
