The Peoples Democratic Movement (PDM) took the decision in June to withdraw Mr Oludare Timothy Akinola as its candidate in the forthcoming Gubernatorial Election in Osun State and the Party has not changed its position in this regard.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The decision of the party and its reasons for withdrawing Mr Akinola as its flag bearer was communicated to the Chairman INEC, the Chairman of PDM in Osun State and Mr. Akinola himself.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Party is therefore surprised to find listed in a Newspaper Publication, the name of Mr Akinola as one of the 20 Gubernatorial Candidates participating in the August 9 governorship election in Osun State on the platform of PDM.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This Press Statement is issued to draw attention to the earlier decision of the party to withdraw Mr Akinola from contesting the election on its platform and to dissociate the Party and its members in Osun State from the newspaper report.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
OurParty members in Osun State and the General Public are please to take note.<\/p>\n
