Singer turned politician, Akande Abolore, better known as 9ice, has refuted a new report that he lost out in the APC primary election.
The ‘Gongo Aso’ singer is vying for the ticket to represent Ogbomosho North/South/Orire Federal Constituency of Oyo State under the platform of All Progressives Congress.
In a story that appear in The Sun, it was reported that 9ice was defeated in the election, “after being widely considered as ‘the chose one”.
9ice has, however, denied losing the election, saying that the report was nothing but a ‘blatant lie’.
He released a statement to this effect, where he alleged that the writer of the story, Chuks Eze, may have been bribed by his opponents to fabricate the report.
The statement read:
“I-Abolore Akande popularly known as 9ICE hereby debunk the news being published in THE SUN by Ckuks Eze today 5th December that I am no longer in the race to contest for the APC ticket as an aspirant for the House of Reps in Ogomosho South, North and Orire Federal Constituency as a blatant lie.”
“I suspect he has been bribed by my opponents to rubbish my efforts.
It is a joke of the century and a plan by enemies and killers of good dream.
I am very much in the race and with you support and prayers, success is certain.”
