Tinubu was quoted to have told Adeboye that he wanted to obliterate the impression that he was a dictator and emperor who hand-picked and decided candidates for the people, therefore he decided to allow everyone to go to the field and prove their popularity.
“ Sir, people have been accusing me of imposition. They say I imposed candidates at will. That is why I said all aspirants including the governor to get to the field and test their popularity among the people in an open contest of direct primaries.
Sir, my hands are tied on this matter, I cannot ask those who have picked expression of interest and nomination forms to withdraw or not to contest. That will be greatly unfair. We will ensure a level-playing ground for all governorship aspirants including the incumbent governor, Tinubu told Adeboye on the phone.
