The Triple O Campaign Organisation has denied that Otunba Oluseyi Oduntan has stepped down for former governor of the state, Otunba Gbenga Daniel, for the Ogun East Senatorial district.
The group described as “absolute falsehood” the story making the round, which was described as a fabrication by those loyal to former Governor.
Director General of the Campaign Team, Architect Oluranti Oresile, in a statement issued on Saturday said the Oduntan is “very much in the race, as he is the leading candidate and remains the man to beat in today’s Senatorial primary election.”
He urged the media to always verify the information sent to them so as not to be caught in the web of falsehood.
Meanwhile, it is a fact that some delegates have been held hostage at different hotels in Ijebu-Ode and Sagamu.
Some delegates have been sending SOS messages that they were tricked to attend a meeting in some hotels and they have refused to let them go.
Many of them claimed to have been locked up at Conference hotels in Ijebu Ode and Sagamu as well as Grand hotel in Ijebu Ode.
Reports coming out of Ogun East indicate that hundreds of delegates are being kept against their will at the following locations.
1. Conference Hotel, Ijebu Ode
2. Conference Hotel Sagamu
3. Grand Inn and suites hotel near the Ijebu Ode Stadium.
The Commissioner of Police Ogun State has been alerted on these illegal and criminal activities and is said to be acting on it immediately.
