The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), has debunked rumours making the rounds that the Ogun State gubernatorial candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Ladi Adebutu, has been replaced on the Commission’s list of candidates ahead of the March 18 elections.
The Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), in the state, Niyi Ijalaye, while dismissing the rumours in an interactive session with journalists in Abeokuta on Saturday, said the speculations were untrue and should be disregarded as Adebutu remains the PDP governorship candidate.
Ijalaye said contrary to speculations that it had not recognised Adebutu as the candidate of the PDP in the state, the Commission had not delisted him from its list.
