PDP Claims APC Pressured INEC to Omit Adebutu's Name
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ogun State has alleged that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) exerted pressure on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to omit its governorship candidate, Hon. Oladipupo Adebutu, from the published list of candidates. Despite this omission, the PDP expressed confidence that Adebutu's name would eventually be included and asserted that this incident would not hinder their ambition to win the 2027 governorship election.
In a statement from the party's Publicity Secretary, Arc. Kayode Adebayo, the PDP urged residents and supporters to remain calm, describing the omission as a distraction. The party emphasized that Adebutu is a bona fide member who registered digitally and submitted his membership card to INEC within the required timeframe.
The PDP dismissed any claims that Adebutu had left the party, asserting his continued membership. The party called on its supporters to stay focused on their campaign for the upcoming elections.
