One of the aspirants contesting for the House of Representatives bye- election slated for February 26, under the platform of All Progressives Congress (APC), Jimoh Oluwatosin, popularly known as JOT has withdrawn from the race.
The Independent National Electoral Commision (INEC) is to conduct the by-election following the death of the Federal Lawmaker representing Akure South/Akure North federal constituency, Hon. Isaac Omolafe Adedayo, also known as Expensive.
JOT said his decision to withdraw from the race followed extensive consultation with the governor of the state Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, critical stakeholders, party stalwarts and members of the All Progressives Congress in Akure South.
