The 2027 governorship election campaign train of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) brought Ijebu-Ode and Odogbolu towns in Ogun State to a standstill on Wednesday. As the convoys of the PDP gubernatorial candidate, Ladi Adebutu and his running mate, Yemi Sowunmi-Kolapo, arrived in the cities, a large crowd of supporters had already gathered for a lively welcome at Lagos Garage area of Ijebu-Ode.
The rally quickly transformed into a carnival, with thousands of locals, traders, farmers, youths and party supporters parading the streets in jubilation. The party candidate for Ogun East Senatorial District, Femi Omotayo Omo-Owo, added to the excitement of the procession.
As the campaign train moved through the towns, supporters waved banners, party flags and placards displaying photos of Adebutu and Kolapo, urging bystanders to vote for the PDP in the upcoming elections. From Lagos Garage Area, through Kashiru and up to the Stadium, the crowd grew larger, dancing to the loud songs from a disc jockey who kept everyone entertained throughout the journey.
At Oke-Aje market, traders abandoned their goods to identify with Adebutu, voicing their desire to end the hardships they've experienced. At Dagbuwere market in Idowa, thousands of local residents welcomed the PDP candidates, resisting attempts by alleged thugs loyal to the ruling All Progressives Congress from blocking their path.
In Odogbolu, a politically-aware town in Ogun East, canopies couldn't contain the throng of supporters upon the arrival of the campaign train.
