The Peoples Democratic Party’s 2027 governorship candidate in Ogun State, Oladipupo Adebutu, has declared that the opposition party remains the only political platform capable of returning Nigeria and the state to the path of prosperity and inclusive governance.

Adebutu made the declaration on Tuesday at the PDP secretariat in Abeokuta while receiving new members who defected from the All Progressives Congress, the African Democratic Congress, the Yayi Door-to-Door Movement and other political groups.

Speaking at the event, Adebutu urged the defectors to complete their registration as party members and mobilise others ahead of future elections.

He said, “Today at our party secretariat, we are welcoming new entrants into the Peoples Democratic Party. We know for certain that this is the only vehicle that can take Nigeria and Ogun State to prosperity. We have appealed to everyone joining the party that, if for any reason they have not yet registered, now is the time to do so.”
