But a source in Mimiko’s camp told said that Adegbenro has agreed to cede the ticket to the former governor.
“Oga (Mimiko) is now the senatorial candidate of ZLP. He is not contesting for president again. Adegbenro is his boy, he has already stepped down for him.”
The source added that ZLP has reached an agreement with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the presidential election.
“ZLP is having an agreement with PDP in the presidential election, so we are no more fielding any candidate,” the source said.
