Ademola Adeleke could be on course to clinch the governorship ticket of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) following the mass withdrawal of his major contenders in the party’s primaries holding in Osun state today.
Among the top aspirants who have bowed out of the contest for the party’s gubernatorial ticket include, Dr. Akin Ogunbiyi; Fatai Akinbade and Dele Adeleke and Mr. Sanya Ominrin. However, Prince Dotun Babayemi is still in the race.
This is coming after a court reportedly validated the power of the national leadership of PDP to conduct ward congress, local congresses, and other congresses.
Sources revealed under the condition of anonymity that the aforesaid order may have likely frustrated the candidates to back out of the race since Ademola Adeleke has the ears of the national leadership of the party.
