According to him, he didn’t campaign throughout the local governments in the state only to withdraw at the last minute. He added that those spreading rumours about his withdrawal are opponents sacred about the people’s acceptance of his candidacy.

In his words, “The false claims are clear signs that oppositions are jittery of his rising acceptance across the state with the record defections from major parties and their endorsements.

“I confidently reassure all residents that I have not and will not step down for anyone as I am poised to win at the poll.” he said.
