Instead, he said that his wife \u201chas been helping the women of Ondo State through the \u201cBRECAN Initiative\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLet anybody that has evidence that anyone of my family is a consultant in the government come out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe will sue anyone that lies against my family,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The debate, titled \"2020 Ondo Governorship Election: Face the Voters\" was organised by media organisations, labour unions and other critical stakeholders in the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Moderator, Akinwumi Asobunde said \u201cWe invited candidate of APC, PDP, SDP and ZLP for this debate and none of the candidates showed any sign that he will not attend as at one hour to the programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Mr Eyitayo Jegede of People's Democratic Party (PDP) came an hour behind the scheduled time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jegede, the PDP candidate, promised to run a transparent government if elected, cautioning his supporters against violence during the polls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThere is nothing to be gained by violence which is why I make sure I report to the Police when such happens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
