With this development, the controversy over who is the PDP’s candidate between Adeleke and his challenger, Prince Dotun Babayemi would subside.

The electoral body which also listed other candidates for the election, however, disqualified three parties namely, AA, APGA, ADC for not meeting the guidelines for the exercise.
