Adebutu
The governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in Ogun State, Oladipupo Adebutu, has stated that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), and Governor Dapo Abiodun are afraid of him while speaking about his chances at the polls among related issues
Be stated that it is not about britgeehoid, reiterating that "Is it about two brothers? I understand that there are several candidates of various parties in this contest and it is not about one or two brothers. To God be the glory, there should be good democracy for Nigeria, for Ogun State and the best candidate will win."
Talking about his chances of defeatingGovernor Dapo Abiodun, being an incumbent governor in the election, he said "I will ask you a question. Do you live in Ogun State? Were you better off four years ago? The truth is that you are not better off than four years ago. The truth is that APC is a very bad brand. Dapo is a very bad manager and the APC has failed Nigeria. Ladi Adebutu is a good leader. He is transparent, full of achievements, and he is truthful and the PDP is a good brand.
"In my inaugural campaign speech, I made some assertions. They started shivering because of the figures I quoted. A few days later, the Debt Management Office confirmed those figures. In one year, Ogun State borrowed stupendous amounts like never before. What did they do with the money?
It is not for me to say; it is a choice for the Ogun people to make. At the election time, I truly believe that they will make their choice. I have come to present myself because I mean well and I intend to do well for this state. I have dedicated myself to service for more than 30 years in this state without any blemish. I have invested my time and resources for the betterment of this state for over 30 years. My resources and endowment I have invested in this state. I have no investment outside of this state because I believe in this state and that is Ladi Adebutu. That is me," he added.(The PUNCH)
