The 2027 governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ogun State, Oladipupo Adebutu, has challenged Governor Dapo Abiodun over the continued suspension of the selection process for a new Awujale of Ijebuland, questioning whether the people would have to wait another 20 years before the vacant traditional stool is filled.

Adebutu spoke in Ijebu-Ode, during the flag-off of the PDP campaign for the 2027 presidential and National Assembly elections.

He said his participation in the 2027 governorship race was aimed at liberating Ogun residents from what he described as the “misrule” of the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led administration and the hardship allegedly imposed on the people.

Addressing a large crowd of party supporters, the former federal lawmaker urged voters to reject the APC at the 2027 polls and return the PDP to power.
