The 2027 governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in Ogun State, Oladipupo Adebutu, on Wednesday challenged Governor Dapo Abiodun over the seven-month embargo placed on the selection process for a new Awujale of Ijebuland, questioning whether it would take another 20 years to fill the vacant stool of the paramount ruler.
Adebutu said his involvement in the 2027 governorship race was hinged on liberating residents of the state from what he described as the misrule of the present administration and the hardship allegedly foisted on the people by the All Progressives Congress-led government.
He urged the people of the state to reject the APC at the polls next year and support the PDP to return to power and “wipe away their tears.”
Adebutu stated this in Ijebu Ode on Wednesday at the flag-off of the campaign for the 2027 presidential and National Assembly elections.
