Abiodun Olujimi, an aspirant in the Peoples Democratic Party ((PDP) governorship primary election in Ekiti state, has stepped down for Dayo Adeyeye, a former minister.
Olujimi, a serving senator, announced this shortly before the commencement of voting at Eagle Hall, Ado Ekiti, venue of the primary election.
“For the benefit of our party, I offer myself and I transfer my structure to Prince Adeyeye.” Olujimi steps down for Adeyeye,” she said.
It is now a two-way race between Adeyeye and Kolapo Olusola, the preferred aspirant of Ayodele Fayose, the incumbent governor.
