By joshua FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE.
REJOINDER: ADC CANDIDATE IN YAGBA WEST HAS NOT WITHDRAWN FROM THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT ELECTION.
Our attention has been drawn to a false and malicious rumor being circulated that the ADC Candidate Chairmanship in Yagba West has withdrawn from the Local Government election scheduled for tomorrow, Saturday, 17th October 2026.
We state categorically and without any equivocation that this report is FALSE and a complete fabrication.
The ADC Candidate for Yagba West Local Govt. Hon Isaac Balogun has not withdrawn. He is fully on the ballot, fully prepared, and fully participating in the election tomorrow.
This falsehood is the handiwork of desperate elements who are afraid of defeat and are trying to confuse our supporters and suppress votes. It will fail.
We call on all our members, supporters, and the good people of Yagba west to come out en masse tomorrow to vote for the ADC. Election will hold in all polling units, and our agents will be present in every unit to protect the vote.
The ADC remains committed to a free, fair, and credible election. Falsification of results will not be allowed.
Signed:
Hon. Juwon Ige.
ADC Chairman
Yagba West.
