Clement Adeyi, Osogbo

Former People’s Democratic Party (PDP) governorship aspirant for the September 22 election in Osun State, Alhaji Fatai Akinbade, has clinched the sole ticket of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) for the poll.

National Chairman of the party, Chief Ralph Okey Nwosu, who disclosed this in a statement yesterday, said the party had approved Akinbade’s candidacy and ready to forward his name to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as the party’s flag-bearer for the September poll.

With the development, Akinbade now replaces Kazeem Adio, who would have been the flag-bearer of the party, following his withdrawal from the race.

“The action was consequent upon the voluntary withdrawal of Adio from the Osun State gubernatorial race.

“Our party is pleased to present a leader, an accomplished public servant and a man who is always at home with his people to replace him (Adio).

“To us, in this trying times, especially as it affects Osun and its people, Akinbade perfectly fits the bill to rescue the state from the proxy war of politicians based outside the state.

Trade booster: Working with Finance Ministry to ease export credit, says Suresh Prabhu Export credit provided by banks fell sharply by about 51.3% to Rs 22,300 crore as of September 28 from a year earlier. The commerce ministry is closely working with the finance ministry to ease credit flow to the export sector, commerce and industry minister Suresh Prabhu said on Tuesday. “One of the main challenges for export is finance.
