Ogun PDP's Sowunmi-Kolapo confident INEC will fix candidate list
Alhaja Yemi Sowunmi-Kolapo, the deputy governorship candidate for the Peoples Democratic Party in Ogun State for the 2027 general elections, expressed optimism that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) will correct the omission of the party's governorship candidate, Ladi Adebutu, from its published final list of candidates. Speaking to journalists after Jumat prayers at the Nawair-ud-deen Society headquarters in Abeokuta, she stated her belief that the omission was unintentional and expressed confidence in the integrity of INEC Chairman, Prof. Joash Amupitan.
Sowunmi-Kolapo dismissed the excitement among members of the ruling All Progressives Congress regarding Adebutu's absence, describing it as premature and indicative of panic ahead of the elections. She praised President Bola Tinubu's appointment of Amupitan as INEC chairman, asserting that he would uphold the commission's integrity.
Sowunmi-Kolapo emphasized that the PDP remains committed to its political mission in Ogun State, asserting that no obstacle could derail their movement.
