2023: Ekiti Ex-Deputy Gov, Olusola Withdraws From Senatorial Race, Makes Shocking Revelation

A former Ekiti State Deputy Governor, Prof Kolapo Olusola has withdrawn from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Ekiti South Senatorial primary.

He made this known in withdrawal letter entitled ‘Notification of Withdrawal from Senatorial Contest’ and addressed to the National Chairman of the PDP.

According to the former Deputy Governor, he entered the race due to pressure from former Governor, Ayodele Fayose.

He noted that Fayose had sent emissaries to him, asking him to run for the post and he had to yield to the pressure from concerned stakeholders.

However, the former Governor has subsequently chosen to back another candidate for the same position.

“…It is expedient to note, however, that the senatorial ambition was the making of former Governor Ayodele Fayose,” he said.

“To my great surprise, Mr. Ayodele Fayose, who openly endorsed my candidacy for Senate in my town, discretely aided another person from the same constituency to pick the same senatorial form.

“I’ve consulted widely and have decided not to dwell where there is no sincerity of purpose but an arrogant display of deception and hence, pulled out from the contest,” the letter read in part.
