ABEOKUTA—The Unity Party of Nigeria (UPN) yesterday, tackled the founder of Oodua People’s Congress, Dr. Frederick Fasheun over his plan to merge the party with the Peoples Democratic Party ahead of the coming elections.
The party also rejected the current list of candidates purportedly released by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for the forthcoming general elections where its name and candidates were omitted.
The Ogun state chairman of the party, Prince Shoye Oyenuga and the governorship candidate, Prince Rotimi Paseda stated these at a press conference and formal presentation of the party’s candidates for the elections held in Omu-Ijebu, in Odogboolu local government area of the state, the homestead of the party’s governorship candidate.
The party while reacting to the claim by Fasheun insisted that the UPN would field its Presidential candidate and not merge with any party including the ruling PDP.
