A Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship aspirant in Edo State, Kenneth Imasuagbon, has denied rumour that he stepped stepped down for Governor Godwin Obaseki.
Imasuagbon, in a statement, said he was still in the race, and was confident of defeating Obaseki in the primary.
He accused the supporters of Governor Obaseki of spreading the rumour.
“Governor Obaseki knows that am popular with the delegates and he is doing everything possible to change this.
“For the sake of emphasis, I have not and will not consider accepting anything to step down from the race for the PDP ticket.
“I also understand that they (Obaseki’s camp) are trying to manipulate the delegates’ list in their favour. I want to warn that if they try it, we will do everything possible to resist it, we shall also meet in court,” he said.
