The Labour Party has debunked alleged stepping down of the candidate for the Edo State Governorship Election, Olumide Akpata, for the Peoples Democratic Party candidate, Asue Ighodalo.
A statement circulating on social media platforms bearing the Labour Party crest and signed by Akpata purported that he has stepped down less than 24 hours to the election and endorsed Ighodalo for governor.
But, in a swift reaction, the party came out to say that the statement is fake.
