Osun 2022: Governorship aspirant, Ogunbiyi withdraws from PDP Primaries, gives reason

By Bright Gbotemi

A leading governorship aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) in Osun State, Dr Akin Ogunbiyi on Monday withdrawn from the race ahead of the party primary billed for Tuesday, March 8th.

The party chieftain made his withdrawal known at his campaign office in Ogo-Oluwa, area of Osogbo, the state capital, on Monday afternoon.

Ogunbiyi, who is the chairman of Mutual Benefits Assurance, is one of the leading aspirants in the guber race in the state.

While stating reason for his withdrawal from the race, he argued that there was a conspiratorial plan by the leadership of the party from the national headquarters to be biased in the election.

Ogunbiyi further pointed out that the Adeleke camp has equally perfected plans to molest, harass and even caused mayhem that could claim the lives of his political supporters during the party primary election.

Also, the MD and CEO Marketing Edge, Mr John Ajayi, confirmed the development to Newsmen.

In his word;
“Dr Ogunbiyi decided to withdraw from the race as a result of the PDP National secretariat shenanigans.”

Ogunbiyi was the first runner-up in the 2018 PDP governorship primary election.
