Ogun PDP to Ladi Adebutu: Stop bringing our party to disrepute
The Ogun State Chapter of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has urged its 2023 governorship candidate, Ladi Adebutu, to desist from acts that are capable of bringing the party into disrepute.
The party, in a statement issued in Abeokuta on Saturday by the State Publicity Secretary, Austin Oniyokor, quoted the State Chairman, Dr. Sikirulai Ogundele as saying, “The Party has noted with grave concern the tension and division that have been caused by the arranged conferment of the Asiwaju of Odogbolu chieftaincy title on one of our members and the 2023 governorship candidate of our party, Ladi Adebutu, on Thursday, 31st October, 2024.
The party had advised that instead of wasting millions to procure a chieftaincy title at a time when many people in the community, like most Nigerians, could barely feed, he should have channeled such resources to some enduring and enabling initiatives.Related News
“Although we reckon that he has taken to our advice and promised to build a skill acquisition centre for the community, it was most embarrassing to learn that the Odogbolu Alaye-in-Council, Palace Chiefs, and eminent community leaders were opposed to the arranged conferment of the Asiwaju of Odogbolu title on Hon. Adebutu and boycotted the ceremony. This, it was learnt, led to the event being held in the sitting room of the Alaye of Odogbolu, Oba Adedeji Olusegun Onagoruwa.
“Little wonder the pictures and videos that were shared only had Hon. Adebutu, his wife, and their hangers-on. The sitting room was empty as there were no kingmakers and no palace chiefs; even eminent citizens from the town boycotted the event.
