2027: Adebutu receives defectors from APC, ADC, rallies Ogun residents for PDP

Oladipupo Adebutu, the Peoples Democratic Party's (PDP) candidate for governor in Ogun State in 2027, declared that his party is the sole political platform capable of restoring Nigeria and the state to prosperity and inclusive governance. He made these remarks on Tuesday at the PDP secretariat in Abeokuta while receiving new members who had defected from the All Progressives Congress (APC), the African Democratic Congress (ADC), and other political groups.

“

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.

Adebutu urged the defectors to register as party members and mobilize others for upcoming elections. He stated, "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." He also accused the current government of mismanagement and corruption, imploring Nigerians to hold them accountable at the ballot box. "Nigerians must become righteously annoyed because we have an uncaring government. We are witnessing some of the worst cases of embezzlement and corrupt practices from top to bottom. The only way out is for the people to get righteously annoyed and vote these people out," Adebutu said.

Dr. Sunday Solarin, the PDP's Deputy National Organising Secretary, echoed Adebutu's sentiments, stating that the wave of defections reflects widespread public dissatisfaction with the APC administration in Ogun State. He noted that the defectors were drawn to the PDP not only because of the party itself but also because of its candidates, whom they believe possess the necessary capacity and character for responsible leadership. "What we have done today is to welcome people who are tired of the way they have been governed in Ogun State and Nigeria as a whole," Solarin explained. He added that many residents, particularly in Ogun Central, are disappointed with the perceived lack of development under the APC-led administration over the past seven years, seeking better governance and prosperity that they believe has been absent for nearly a decade.
