There was a bit of confusion in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Kogi State on Tuesday after Dr Victor Adoji, one of the governorship aspirants in the state denied that he had stepped down from the contest in support of former Governor Idris Wada.

Abdullahi Usman Adeiza released a statement on behalf of Dr Victor Adoji Campaign Group (DGACG), refuting the reports as he said they were false and baseless.

Reports had broken out on Tuesday that Adoji, along with six other aspirants had stepped down for Capt. Idris Wada, a former governor in the state.

Adoji, however, revealed that he was still very much in the race saying he is confident of emerging victorious in the primaries and flying the flag of the party in the elections.

The statement read, “We write to debunk the devilish and wicked news making round the social media of the decision of Dr Adoji stepping down for other candidates ahead of the Kogi PDP gubernatorial primaries which will kick start any moment.

“This news is, of course, coming from other opponents who already are afraid of his personality and momentum and have brought up this fake news to confuse our convinced supporters.

“We are gaining grounds, moving from Local Government to Local Government and our delegates are in love with us. We are very prepared for the Primaries and shall come out victorious at the end”.
