Dapo Abiodun
The 2027 governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in Ogun State, Oladipupo Adebutu, has challenged Governor Dapo Abiodun over the seven-month embargo placed on the selection process for a new Awujale of Ijebuland. He recently had his say in Ijebu Ode at the flag-off of the campaign for the 2027 presidential and National Assembly elections.
Questioning whether it would take another 20 years to fill the vacant stool of the paramount ruler, Adebutu stated that he is contesting next year because he wants to liberate Ogun State residents once and for all.
He added that the misrule of the present administration cannot be allowed to continue.
His words, “I was recently asking why there has not been a new Alaperu, but it appears it is some people that are behind the delay.
I also asked why it has been difficult to have the replacement for the Alaye of Odogbolu after the demise of the former king. It is the same people that are also said to be behind the delay. What about having a new Awujale? Why are they also trying hard to impose (tekobo) someone from Lagos?
What I am saying is, why will some people, because they are in power, be blocking us from having our rightful royal fathers installed, and they will still be seeking the vote of the people?
Is it that they don’t want us to have another Awujale in 20 years’ time or what? So, it is good for the people to know that PDP’s involvement in the 2027 elections is about the fight for liberty and freedom for the people. Our people can never remain under the shackle of bad governance forever. This is why all of you must turn out en masse to vote out APC during next year’s election.
I know that they will come to offer you money. Please collect their money; it is yours. Collect it and vote for the PDP that is ready to bring about rapid development across the state and also make life more comfortable for the people.”
