Candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2024 Edo Governorship Election, Olumide Akpata has reacted to rumours that he has defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Akpata’s reaction is coming after a chieftain of the APC, Joe Igbokwe’s post on popular social media platform, Facebook.

Igbokwe took to his Facebook account on Monday to announce Akpata’s defection to APC.
He wrote: Former Labour Man, Oga Olumide Akpata joins APC.
Hours later, Akpata took to social media to debunk his defection to APC.
Akpata wrote on X: @OlumideAkpata In the past 24 hours, a malicious, mischievous and utterly false rumour has been concocted in the dark alleys of social media, and unfortunately amplified by mischief-makers, alleging that I have abandoned the @NgLabour Party, the very platform on which I contested the 2024 Edo State gubernatorial election, to join the All Progressives Congress (APC). This is not only false but laughable. I state without equivocation that I have neither contemplated, discussed, nor effected a defection to the APC and for the avoidance of doubt, I have no intention of ever joining the APC.
