Adebutu Addresses INEC Omission as Temporary Distraction
Oladipupo Adebutu, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate for the 2027 election in Ogun State, stated that the exclusion of his name from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) list of governorship contestants is a temporary distraction. Adebutu made this assertion during a reception for over 1,000 members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) who defected to the PDP, led by former House of Representatives member Segun William.
He expressed confidence that the issue regarding his omission would be resolved and emphasized his loyalty to the PDP, citing his two-decade history with the party. Adebutu challenged anyone questioning his membership to provide evidence of his alleged defection.
He also mentioned his active role in the party's recent membership registration, which added over 19,800 members. Adebutu assured supporters that the PDP would remain focused on its political activities despite the controversy and highlighted ongoing grassroots mobilization efforts across Ogun State.
