Gbolarumi, who described the report as false and misleading, described it as “nothing but another tissue of lies from the camp of some disgruntled elements in the state.

“But, keeping quiet in the midst of such a bare-faced falsehood would amount to a disservice to the good people of the state, some of who could be hoodwinked into believing the misleading report.”

Gbolarumi stated, “For the avoidance of doubt, His Excellency Barrister Hazeem Gbolarumi was the one who led the Campaign on just concluded the Federal House of Representative election that gave the PDP victory in Ibadan North. Not only that but also, member of One of the Committee in coming PDP National Convention
