The SDP described such reports as fake, saying nothing of such happened.
The Social Democratic Party (SDP) has denied that its candidate for the November 11 governorship election has withdrawn from the race.
The SDP described such reports as fake, saying nothing of such happened.
The Director of New Media of Muri Abenemi Campaign Organization, David Ijele in a statement issued in Lokoja on Thursday urged the public to ignore such reports.
He said, “The fake news of Alhaji Murtala Yakubu Ajaka, the candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) stepping down, withdrawing from the race or merging his structure with another party is false and baseless, this fake news and propaganda is the handwork of the miscreants, sinking ships and a group of people that repeatedly lied to themselves to feel comfortable against reality.”
He described Ajaka as the candidate of the people who would not “step down for anyone at this point”.
“We are calling on the general public, especially our supporters to disregard the fake letter of withdrawal or stepping down making rounds on the internet. The letter is not signed by Isaiah Davies Ijele and Ocheja Unekwu. This fake letter is the last resolve of the outgoing government and their allies,” he said.
