The Social Democratic Party candidate in Saturday’s governorship election in Osun State, Olugbenga Ajala, has expressed optimism that the party will emerge victorious despite being listed on the ballot just three days before the poll.
Ajala disclosed this during a telephone interview with The PUNCH on Wednesday, shortly after the Independent National Electoral Commission listed the party among those fielding candidates in the election.
Although Ajala acknowledged that the party had limited time to canvass for votes, he said the SDP could still emerge victorious in the poll.
Asked what he had been doing while waiting for INEC’s listing, Ajala said, “We were in court throughout before we got judgments.
“In the next 48 hours, there is very little we can do because it is like a 100-meter race. Some of the contestants have reached 75 meters out of the 100 meters.
