Kwara State governor, Alh Abdulfatah Ahmed, has said that
Senator Rafiu Ibrahim remains the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP)
candidate for Kwara south senatorial district.
Ahmed made this declaration, yesterday, at Idofin Odo- Ase in
Oke – Ero local government area of the state during the PDP
campaign rally in the area.
The governor said that the Independent National Electoral
Commission (INEC) published his (Ahmed’s) name in error in the list
of National Assembly candidates the electoral body released on
Thursday.
Ahmed, who openly campaigned for Senator Ibrahim, asked the
people not to entertain any fear about the development, assuring
them that the mix up would be corrected.
He stated: “Concerning the post of the senator, the person who
is there at the present is the one we want to return and, by the
grace of God, he will be returned.
“Be rest assured, all what is released will be corrected.
Everything will be corrected the way we want it.”
Ahmed had, about a month ago, voluntarily withdrawn from the
race to enable the incumbent senator, Rafiu Ibrahim, recontest on
the platform of the PDP.
However, a list of senatorial candidates of parties in the state
released on Thursday by the INEC indicated that Ahmed is still the
candidate of the PDP for the election.
