The Alake and Paramount Ruler of Egbaland, Oba Adedotun Aremu Gbadebo, has publicly endorsed the PDP governorship candidate, Hon. Oladipupo Adebutu, ahead of the 2027 Ogun governorship election.
The endorsement came when Adebutu and members of his campaign team paid a visit to the Egba Traditional Council to seek the blessings of the royal fathers for his governorship ambition.
Speaking during the meeting, Oba Gbadebo, in the company of the Egba Traditional Council, described the Adebutu family as one with a longstanding legacy of generosity and commitment to the development of Egbaland.
He recalled the contributions of the PDP candidate’s father, Chief Kessington Adebukunola Adebutu, narrating how members of an Egba association had struggled to acquire a permanent secretariat in Lagos after identifying a building opposite the City Hall for purchase.
According to him, while members were making financial contributions towards acquiring the property, Chief Adebutu asked them to keep their money and personally paid for the building.
