Less than two months before the Ondo State governorship election, Mrs. Susan Gbemisola Alabi, the deputy governorship candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), has stepped down from her role and resigned from the party.
Reports indicate that her decision stems from irreconcilable differences with the SDP’s governorship candidate, Otunba Bamidele Akingboye.
