Factional governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Ademola Adeleke, on Saturday dispelled insinuations that there is in-fighting within his camp over National Assembly ticket ahead 2023 general elections.
Adeleke also stressed that he does not have anointed aspirant to clinch the tickets for seats of State House of Assembly, House of Representatives and Senate.
A statement by his media aide, Olawale Rasheed, also stressed that Adeleke is the authentic candidate of the party backed by local and national leaders.
He said, “Senator Adeleke remains a superbly popular candidate who is poised to win the July election.
“Senator Adeleke is the official candidate of the PDP who enjoys the full backing of local and national leaders of the party. His inner and outer caucuses are in strong harmony and the campaign organisation is only waiting in compliance with INEC guidelines before kick starting the campaigns. We assure the party members that there is no crack within the organisation and all hands are on deck to secure victory.
“On the National Assembly election, Senator Ademola Adeleke and his family have no preferred or anointed aspirant. The party’s guideline for candidate selection is clear and Senator Adeleke has repeated severally that he has no endorsed aspirant. The party delegates are to decide the eventual flagbearers for the National Assembly offices.”
