Ogun guber: PDP’s Adebutu seeks resolution at the Supreme Court

The Supreme Court has received an appeal from Oladipupo Adebutu, the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ogun State, regarding the March 18 governorship election.

Adebutu’s team of lawyers successfully filed the appeal, as stated in his Christmas message signed by his media aide, Afolabi Orekoya. Adebutu expressed optimism that justice would be served through this appeal.

Previously, Adebutu had challenged the election victory of Governor Dapo Abiodun of the All Progressives Congress (APC) at the tribunal, citing various issues such as over-voting, gross misconduct, disenfranchisement, and non-compliance with electoral laws.

Despite the court affirming the governor’s election up to the appeal court, Adebutu remains determined to reclaim the mandate of the people of Ogun State. He returned from the United Kingdom to celebrate Christmas with his people and emphasized the importance of love, compassion, and sacrifice, as exemplified by the life of Jesus Christ.

Adebutu urged the residents of Ogun State to pray for the state and expressed confidence that victory would be achieved in the journey to redeem the stolen mandate and bring relief to the people.

He expressed our deep gratitude for the remarkable warm welcome and enthusiastic cheers he received from individuals across the entire State. This serves as a remarkable testament to us that the people of Ogun State are resolute and unwavering in their belief that genuine justice will prevail at the Supreme Court,” he stated.

Furthermore, he kindly urged the people to celebrate in moderation with their loved ones, while maintaining hope that our triumph is imminent and just within reach.
