PDP Chieftain Topa Olusegun Peter Denies Guber Aspirancy
Topa Olusegun Peter, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Baale Olorunsogo in Ilara, Ogun State, has denied being a governorship aspirant for the 2027 elections. He raised concerns over the unauthorized use of his name in relation to the PDP's ongoing issues with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) regarding the omission of Ladi Adebutu from the list of candidates.
Peter stated he never purchased a nomination form or authorized anyone to represent him in this political race. He alleged that Ramoni Adebolu, the Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in his council area, approached him with a political offer, which he rejected.
Peter expressed shock upon discovering his name in publications as a PDP aspirant and called for an investigation into how this occurred. He also mentioned a petition from lawyer Anderson Asemota demanding the publication of his name as a candidate, which he denied authorizing, and expressed concerns for his family's safety.
