A Frontline aspirant for the Dennis Osadebe Avenue government house and a former Deputy Governor of Edo State, Dr. Pius Odubu has described as outright false, the news making the rounds that he has stepped down from contesting the APC party primary ahead of Edo State GOVERNORSHIP election.
Dr. Odubu in a release issued, personally signed and published on his Tweeter handle said "My attention has been drawn to the above titled fake news currently under circulation that, i ,Dr.. Pius Odubu has stepped down for another aspirant in the All Progressive Congress (APC)."
Dr. Odubu said "While i am very much aware there is a brotherly understanding among the aspirants under the APC to work in unity and produce one of us that will challenge the opposition candidate in the forth coming general election, but I have not stepped down for anybody."
The former Deputy Governor however stated "For the avoidance of doubt, if for any reason such important decision is to be taken by me, as an experienced politician i will not make such an announcement to my supporters & party faithfuls through the social media. The said concocted story of my stepping down is untrue, fake, misrepresenting and should be disregarded."
Consequently, he further said "I am also by this notice informing my teaming supporters and all party members to remain calm and prepare for the APC primary on the 22nd of June, 2020 as i will officially be meeting with all my campaign leaders and coordinators very soon to brief them, evaluate all recent developments and strategize ahead of the party's primary coming up on monday."
