The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), on Sunday formally adopted former governorship candidate, Hon. Oladipupo Adebutu, as its consensus flag bearer for the 2027 governorship election on Ogun State, declaring readiness to wrest power from the ruling All Progressives Congress, (APC).
Adebutu emerged through a consensus arrangement at the party’s governorship primary held in Abeokuta, the State capital, amid widespread affirmation by party members across the 236 wards of the state.
Chairman of the PDP Governorship Primary Panel, Chief Afolabi Ariyo, who officially announced the result through a voice vote, declared Adebutu returned as the party’s candidate for the 2027 governorship contest.
