He dismissed earlier sensationally claims by Khalwale that he (Oparanya) was from the Teso community and that her mother had an affair with a Teso man claimed to be his father.
According to the governor, the age difference between him and Khalwale was only two years and that there is no way the senator would have supervised to get details of the said affair.
The two have had a serious war of words right from the time the Bullfighter declared interest in the governor’s seat with a disagreement growing broader as opinion polls showed higher chances for Oparanya to retain his seat.
