Our candidate has consistently maintained his commitment to the Labour Party and its ideals.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe also deny receiving any sponsorship from the APC or the presidency. Akpata\u2019s campaign is self-funded with the backing of loyal party members and supporters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor the past 25 years, both the APC and the Peoples Democratic Party, represent darkness in Nigeria and Edo State. Akpata is a light that has nothing in common with darkness, the alleged late-night meetings with APC officials are false. Akpata has been focused on his ward-to-ward campaign, engaging with Edo people and presenting his vision for the state.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe deny receiving $850,000 or N1.6 Billion or any such funds from the Presidency or APC. Our campaign finances are transparent and accountable.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere was no manipulation of delegates as the Labour Party conducted the most free and fair primaries devoid of any godfather interference where Akpata emerged as the clear winner.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe urge our party members, the Obidient family and the general public to disregard these malicious allegations sponsored by the opposition and focus on the issues that matter. Olumide Akpata remains committed to his promise of a better Edo State for all, and we will not be distracted by baseless rumors and smear campaigns.
