Adebutu dares Yayi to sue over Ogun indigeneship dispute

Oladipupo Adebutu, the PDP governorship candidate in Ogun State, has challenged Solomon Adeola, also known as Yayi, the APC governorship candidate, to sue him over claims concerning Adeola's ancestry. Adebutu stated that he has documents to support his claim that Adeola is not an indigene of Ogun State.

Adeola had previously threatened to sue individuals who made similar claims about his ancestry. According to Daily Post Nigeria, Adeola's media aide, Kayode Odunaro, issued a statement on Adeola's behalf, warning that unless the individuals provided evidence, he would take legal action.

Adebutu also accused the APC of intolerance, alleging that the opposition party had been prevented from erecting its billboards while its posters across the state were being torn down and defaced. He made these statements during a campaign rally in Odogbolu Local Government Area of the state.
