Kwara 2015: Ajibola remains PDP guber candidate in Kwara - Olanrewaju ilorin.info/fullnews.php?id=12435 SEN. Simeon Ajibola, who won the PDP governorship ticket for the 2015 elections in Kwara, remains the flagbearer of the party, his campaign outfit has said. The Director General of the Ajibola for Governor Campaign Organisation, Mr Shuaib Olanrewaju, made the clarification on Thursday in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Ilorin. Olanrewaju said that contrary to the rumour making the rounds, Ajibola remains the authentic flag bearer of the party. He said the clarification was necessary against the background of postings in the social media insinuating that the governorship ticket had been withdrawn from Ajibola. Olanrewaju said the state and the 16 local government executive bodies of the party as well as other contestants had already congratulated Ajibola on his victory. He recalled that Gov. Gabriel Suswan of Benue, who supervised the Dec. 11 rescheduled primary election had submitted the result to the national headquarters of the party, adding that it had been accepted. `` The national headquarters of the party has even sent a congratulatory message to Ajibola on his victory at the primary. “Not only that, all his co-contestants have congratulated him through press statements, radio and television announcements,’’ he said. Olanrewaju, who said the rumour was meant to cause disaffection among the aspirants, added: “The rumour is both unfounded and false and the evil imagination of enemies of progress that want Kwara to remain in perpetual bondage.’’ (NAN) - See more at: ilorin.info/fullnews.php?id=12435
