Ogun PDP Claims APC Pressured INEC to Omit Adebutu
The Ogun State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has alleged political interference from the All Progressives Congress (APC) after the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) omitted its governorship candidate, Oladipupo Adebutu, from a list published ahead of the 2027 election. In a statement from Publicity Secretary Kayode Adebayo, the PDP urged its members to remain calm and expressed confidence in resolving the issue to include Adebutu's name.
The party asserted that Adebutu had never resigned from the PDP and had completed the digital membership registration within the required timeframe, with his membership card verified and submitted to INEC. Adebayo linked the omission to undue pressure from the ruling APC, which he claimed stemmed from fears of losing the election.
Despite this setback, the PDP reaffirmed its commitment to contest the governorship election and called on supporters to continue mobilization efforts across Ogun State.
