Oguntoyinbo, in a statement personally signed, said he was still much in the race to liberate the people of the state from the hands of political machinery, whose stock in trade is political propaganda.
He described the rumour as untrue and a cheap blackmail by opposition parties to discredit his growing popularity.
“The NNPP remains the only party with the interest of the masses, youth oriented and the party that would deliver free and qualitative education to youths as well as provide job opportunities to all.
“The rumour that I had stepped down from the guber race in the state is untrue and a mere blackmail. The NNPP is still very much in the race. Having toured all the 20 local government areas in the state, the level of my acceptability by the electorate is making other political parties jittery, hence, the need for the political desperados to opt for political propaganda, lies, misinformation and deception.”
Oguntoyinbo maintained that the people of the state are already aware of the antics of some politicians which cannot take them anywhere in the governorship election.
The NNPP governorship candidate said, “I want to use this avenue to appreciate those that believe in my ability and capacity to move the state forward. Those that stand by me, those that stand behind me and those that feel concern about the handiwork of political jobbers.
“I want to assure the good people of Ogun state that I am not in any negotiation with any political party or candidate, I am still much in the race and victory is ours,” he stated.
