Ogun State Chapter of New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) has disclosed that the gubernatorial candidate of the party in the recent election, Ajadi Oguntoyinbo is from the state.
The party made the confirmation in a statement signed by the Public Relations Officer (PRO), of the party, Comrade Olowu Olayemi, on Monday.
Ajadi contested the gubernatorial election held on Saturday, 18th March 2023 on the platform of NNPP.
Media Talk Africa gathered that a group, Yewa Young FronLiners (YYF) had alleged that Ajadi is not from the state.
The party has, however, said the group that sponsored the allegation is made of political jobbers, with propaganda, lies and blackmail as their stock in trade.
The party through its PRO, Olowu Olayemi, insisted that those behind the erroneous report are not far-fetched, describing them as unscrupulous elements within the party in the state.
Olayemi who spoke on behalf of the party and Ajadi Oguntoyinbo Movement explained that those who are peddling the rumour have sold their conscience for love of inducements.
He added that the sponsors of the rumour have betrayed the party, alleging that the accusers took part in anti-party activities because of the money they were given.
Olayemi said truly Ajadi was born in Ibadan but lived all his life in Ilaro, where his mother comes from and Ibafo and these were shown in all documents and forms he submitted for the election.
He added that there was no place where Ajadi lied on oath or denied being born in Ibadan.
Olayemi stressed that Ajadi had lived most of his life over forty (40) years in Ilaro and Ibafo. He concluded that by naturalisation, Ajadi is also an indigene of Ogun State.
“This unpopular group said Ambassador Olufemi Ajadi Oguntoyinbo is not from Iyalode Dynasty Family in Ilaro.
“This set of individuals betrayed the party they claimed they love, they took part in anti-party activities because of the money they were given. We have it on good authority the details of the amount they collected to betray the course of New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Ogun State Chapter.
“Again for the avoidance of doubts, Olufemi Ajadi Oguntoyinbo remains steadfast, dedicated and committed to a new Nigeria and he is a bonafide indigene of Ogun state by naturalisation. We challenge anybody who has information that proves otherwise to come to the mainstream media and make their case”.
