PDP Defends Adebutu's Candidacy Amid Allegations in Ogun
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ogun State has rejected allegations questioning the eligibility of its 2027 governorship candidate, Oladipupo Adebutu, calling the claims a fabrication by political opponents. This response follows assertions from the Ogun Democratic Accountability Forum (ODAF) that Adebutu's name was missing from its membership register.
Kayode Adebayo, the State Publicity Secretary, affirmed that Adebutu is a fully registered and financial member of the party, compliant with all legal requirements under the Electoral Act regarding membership registration with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). The PDP characterized the disqualification claims as a smear campaign orchestrated by the All Progressives Congress (APC) to divert attention from unresolved issues regarding Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola's indigeneship status and alleged misappropriation of federal projects.
The PDP urged INEC to disregard pressures from political proxies and reassured supporters of Adebutu's eligibility for the upcoming election.
