Ogun 2027: Adeoye Knocks APC Chieftain Oladele Over Adebutu Remarks

A political figure, Adeoye, has criticised an All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain, Oladele, over comments made about the People's Democratic Party (PDP) leader in Ogun State, Ladi Adebutu, ahead of the 2027 elections.

Political tension is building in Ogun State as a political stakeholder, Adeoye, has lambasted a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Oladele, over remarks the latter made concerning the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) leader in the state, Hon. Ladi Adebutu.

Adeoye, in his reaction, faulted the comments credited to the APC chieftain, describing them as unfair and an attempt to misrepresent the political standing and contributions of Adebutu in the state.

He defended the PDP leader, highlighting what he described as Adebutu's commitment to the development of Ogun State and his investments in empowering the people through various political and humanitarian initiatives.

Adeoye urged the APC chieftain to focus on issue-based politics rather than engaging in what he termed as unnecessary attacks aimed at discrediting opponents ahead of the 2027 general elections.

He maintained that the people of Ogun State were more interested in candidates and leaders with genuine plans to address the challenges confronting the state, rather than those engaging in political mudslinging.

The exchange between the two political actors underscores the rising political temperature in Ogun State as various parties and stakeholders begin to position themselves ahead of the 2027 governorship and general elections.

Adeoye called on politicians across party lines to embrace decorum and conduct their campaigns and political engagements in a manner that promotes peace, unity and the overall progress of the state.

He expressed confidence in the political future of the PDP in Ogun State, urging supporters of the party to remain united and focused as the build-up to the 2027 elections intensifies.

As of the time of this report, the APC chieftain, Oladele, had not issued a fresh response to the criticism levelled against him.
