Afuape cannot hijack my ticket, Adejojo laments: threatens to go to court

Afuape 

The crisis in Ogun APC seems not abating as an aspirant contesting for Ogun State House of Assembly, Abeokuta South Constituency 1, Honorable Yusuf Temitope Adejojo cried out that he remained the party's candidate, having been declared winner by the National Working Committee.

Adejojo, in a statement he signed, urged the masses to debunk any rumour spreading about that his name has been replaced with that of the former Commissioner for Youths and Sports in Ogun State, Afolabi Afuape ,fondly addressed as Afoo.

He said, "I am assuring you all that nothing like party substitution or withdrawal. Oke Mosan is our core focus and creating a better live and sustainable environment for all is our vision.

Adejojo had threatened to seek redress in the court in any case that his  name is substituted

“Please note that any attempt to withdraw or substitute my name will result in using the judicial system that the leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari is working hard on to stop corrupt practices.”

He explained further that the deadline of substitution and withdrawal stated by INEC had already passed on December 1, 2018.

His words:

“Good day my fellow Nigerians and beloved supporters, I would like to use this medium to clear the air about the hearsay/rumor spreading concerning my substitution or withdrawal from the forthcoming general election.

"I want to make it clear to all that there is nothing like another candidate (Afuape) is contesting for my post under my beloved party.

"I am still the only valid candidate contesting for Ogun State House of Assembly Abeokuta South Constituency 1 under All Progressive Party (APC) and this was sequel to the meeting held on the 13th of December 2018 with the leaders of the party in the State.

"Once again I debunk any rumour or tittle tattle spreading about, I am assuring you that nothing like party substitution or withdrawal.

"Oke Mosan is our core focus and creating  better lives and sustainable environment for all is our vision.”

African Advocate reliably gathered that the duo of Afuape and Adejojo have been pasting posters, while also campaigning for the same post under the same APC.

Who owns the ticket? Time will tell.
