Ogun: Youth Group Flays Adebutu for Calling Gov. Abiodun Ingrate

 

…says PDP guber candidate not in tune with reality

Youths in the Ogun West Senatorial District under the aegis of Yewa Youth Pacesetters, have flayed the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the March 18 gubernatorial poll in the state, Oladipupo Adebutu, for labeling Governor Dapo Abiodun as “an ingrate who is looking for someone to blame for his abysmal performance”.

 

Adebutu, in a statement he personally signed on Friday, called Governor Abiodun an ingrate whose political campaigns and activities had been bankrolled by his billionaire father, Sir Kessington Adebutu.

The former House of Reps member also said his family never gave money to Senator Gbenga Daniel to scuttle the reelection bid of Governor Abiodun in the 2023 poll.

Reacting to Adebutu’s position, the YYP, in a statement by its president, Dapo Fashola, on Saturday, lampooned the Ogun PDP standard bearer for referring to the state governor as an ingrate and his weak attempt to defend the anti party activities of former governor Daniel.

 

Fashola pointed out that there are hard facts that the Adebutu family rolled out a huge amount of money to lure the electorate during the election, which eventually went in favour of the incumbent governor.

The group added that rather than Adebutu and his party to busy themselves with how to defend vote buying allegations at the election petition tribunal, he engaged in name-calling and failed defence of anti party activities of an agent provocateur within the APC.

While faulting Adebutu’s position on the “abysmal performance” of Governor Abiodun, Fashola said that the PDP governorship candidate, who he described as a “fugitive” is not in tune with reality in the state.

He added that Adebutu has not come to terms with how Governor Abiodun delivered socio-economic development projects across the state in just four years.

YYP said that despite the paucity of funds, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, Governor Abiodun, was able to raise the ante in the delivery of good governance in the state and ensured equitable distribution of projects across the three senatorial districts in Ogun.

The group, however, asked Adebutu to return home and answer for his crime of vote-buying in the last election, instead of throwing expletives at a governor who was returned for another term of four years by the people of the state.

Fashola, in the statement, urged the people of the state to disregard Adebutu’s outburst, which he described as a “gasping for breath by a drowning man”.
