Ladi Adebutu's PDP Campaign Draws Massive Crowd in Ogun

On September 18, 2026, Ijebu-Ode and Odogbolu in Ogun State experienced a significant mobilization as the campaign train of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the 2027 governorship election arrived. Ladi Adebutu, the PDP gubernatorial candidate, and his running mate, Yemi Sowunmi-Kolapo, were welcomed by a large crowd at the Lagos Garage area, where supporters celebrated with chants and songs.

The rally turned into a carnival atmosphere, with thousands of indigenes, market traders, and youths participating. Femi Omotayo Omo-Owo, the PDP candidate for Ogun East Senatorial District, also joined the procession.

Supporters displayed banners and placards urging votes for the PDP. The campaign included personal interactions with traders at Oke-Aje market, where Adebutu and Sowunmi-Kolapo engaged with locals and distributed goods.

The event faced challenges, including an attempted disruption by alleged thugs from the ruling All Progressives Congress. The campaign continued to Odogbolu, where Adebutu addressed the crowd, emphasizing his commitment to the community.
