The gentleman who is popularly known as Tunde Taiwo bared his mind on the spurious allegation by the political jobbers in a press statement released to SOJWORLD.COM on Tuesday.

TUNDE TAIWO PRESS STATEMENT
“I wish I didn’t have to put out a press statement or join issues with naysayers, political jobbers and professional liars who would stop at nothing to tarnish the image of others.
As you are probably aware, I, Babatunde Adedotun Taiwo ran grassroots oriented campaign for the office of Executive Governor of Osun State under the All Progressive Congress Party (APC).

I did so with lots of conviction and believe. I understand the nature of Nigeria political terrain and I chose to approach the ambition differently and with the fear of God, the Most High.
There was no time that I approached any financial institutions home or abroad for loan or facility for political purpose.
I did not depend on any moneybag or political god-father; I ran my campaign using my hard-earned resources and those of contributors who believed in me as a man of integrity.
As a loyal party man with sound political ideology, I gave in into the wish of our political party the All Progressive Congress (APC), even when I was not fully satisfied; I believe the party is bigger and greater than any individual including my humble self.
As a matter of fact, I, Babatunde Adedotun Taiwo did not at any time before, during and after the recently concluded APC direct primary in Osun State go into any monetary alliance with anyone or group.

My campaign, the Ìgbà Òtun Movement was not at anytime involved in any money-induced alliance or sharing. I simply towed the line of the party after due consultations with my party leaders, my supporters and those who believe in me.
I am aware of the rumor making rounds; I want my people to be rest assured that I will not destroy the gait of integrity reposed in me by selling my conscience.
I am in support of the candidacy of Alhaji Adegboyega Oyetola as the APC flag-bearer and that will not change.
I did not run my campaign on loans from any bank(s) and therefore not under any pressure of repayment. I did not collect any form of ‘settlement’ from anyone to truncate the aspiration of Osun West to occupy the seat of Osun State governor.

Best Regards,

Babatunde Adedotun Taiwo
Ìgbà Òtun.”
