Leaders of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Abeokuta North of Ogun State, have thrown their weight behind Ladi Adebutu as the leader of the party in the state.
Speaking at the Abeokuta North Local Government Collegiate Council Meeting, held on Wednesday, a Chieftain of the party, Adeshina Olaleye emphasized that unlike some aspirants in the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adebutu’s paternal and maternal origins are undisputed.
Olaleye declared that the biological root of the party’s flag bearer in the last gubernatorial election, Adebutu is never in doubt.
Olaleye who is also the Collegiate Chairman in Abeokuta-North, added that Adebutu is the only true grassroots politician among the current crop of governorship aspirants in Ogun State.
“Adebutu is a true son of the soil,” Olaleye said, adding that he has lived and operated his business in Ogun State, distinguishing himself from others whose heritage is a subject of public controversy.
“Adebutu is the only grassroot politician among the governorship aspirants on ground at the moment.
“His paternal and maternal origins are not subjects of controversy, unlike our friend in the All Progressives Congress (APC). LADO is a true son of the soil; he lives and runs his business in Ogun State”, he said
Olaleye recalled how Adebutu donated over 200 transformers to various communities, underscoring his deep connection to grassroots development.
“He has proven to be intellectually upright and capable of serving his people. Hon. Adebutu is a true Omoluabi, a God-sent liberator to his people,” Olaleye added
In his remarks, the State PDP Chairman, Hon. Abayomi Tella, also called for unity and cooperation within the party to secure the governorship seat for Adebutu in the 2027 elections.
Tella, whose chairmanship was recently affirmed by the court, urged members to focus on the ultimate goal, emphasizing that 2027 represents the last chance for the PDP to regain power in the state.
“It is when we succeed that the boldness will come on us, because the 2027 general election is our last chance”, he stressed
