Oyo 2019: Lanlehin, Alli Step Down For PDP’s Candidate, Makinde

The governorship race in Oyo State has taken a new dimension as the candidates of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Olufemi Lanlehin and the Zenith Labour Party (ZLP) Sharafadeen Alli respectively on Monday ended days of anxiety and procrastination by stepping down for the candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Oluseyi Makinde.

The candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) Bolaji Ayorinde also joined the alliance with the PDP.

The alliance narrowed down the major candidates in the Saturday election to only All Progressives Congress (APC)’s Adebayo Adelabu and PDP’s Makinde.

The directors-general of the campaign organizations of the parties involved in the coalition confirmed the decision on Monday, saying that details would be provided later.

It was learnt that a formal announcement and unveiling of the coalition will be made in a press conference on Tuesday.
