By Deborah Oladejo, Osogbo
An aspirant for the governorship primary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Osun State, Dr. Akin Ogunbiyi on Monday withdrew from the primary election of the party.
Ogunbiyi stated this in a letter addressed to Senator Iyorchia Ayu, the National Chairman of the party dated 7th March, a copy of which was obtained by Western Post in Osogbo.
In the letter titled: “Withdrawal from Osun gubernatorial elections,” the insurance guru frowned at the bias nature of the National Working Committee of the party.
The letter reads, ” I wish to formally inform you of my withdrawal from the Osun PDP gubernatorial primaries.
“This decision became imperative in view of the fact that the process leading to the primaries is already skewed towards a predetermined outcome despite the various presentations made to the NWC for a level playing grounds for all the aspirants.
“As a consequence, I will not be participating in the primaries scheduled for Tuesday, 8th March 2022.
“I wish the party all best in the coming elections. Be assured of my esteemed assurance.”
Ogunbiyi copied, Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State, Hon. Soji Adagunodo, National Vice Chairman, South West, Bar. Wale Ojo , Acting Chairman, Osun PDP and Osun Gubernatorial Election Committee.
