Ogun PDP Deputy Gov Candidate, Yemi Kolapo, Rallies Communities for Adebutu

In a vibrant rally held in Obantoko, a community nestled in Odeda Local Government Area of Ogun State, residents passionately rallied behind the PDP gubernatorial candidate, Ladi Adebutu. The event, organized by Yemi Sowunmi-Kolapo, the PDP Deputy Governorship candidate, attracted a large crowd from various communities within Obantoko, including American Junction, Asalu, Akete, Akinyele, Akepe Oluwa, Kangudu, and others.

The residents expressed their unwavering support for Adebutu, emphasizing his genuine connection to the community. They highlighted his decision to reside among them, unlike many politicians who prefer to live in elite areas, as a testament to his sincere commitment to grassroots development. Sowunmi-Kolapo, in her impassioned address, praised Adebutu's philanthropic efforts, particularly his distribution of 700 transformers to various communities across Ogun State, even without any political ambition of his own.

Party leaders, including the PDP State Chairman, Abiodun Ogunremi, and the PDP House of Representatives candidate for Abeokuta North, Dele Olaleye, echoed the residents' sentiments, stressing the importance of voting en masse for all PDP candidates. They highlighted the potential benefits of local government autonomy under an Adebutu administration, promising significant improvements to the lives of Ogun residents.

Sowunmi-Kolapo, known for her blunt and passionate style, urged the people to resist any attempts to impose strangers on them and to mobilize their votes. She emphasized the need to protect their heritage and ensure that the suffering they have endured does not go to waste. The triumph of the rally was clear as the crowd erupted in chants of "ITURA TIDE," a phrase meaning "relief has come," signaling their resolute determination to support Adebutu and the PDP in the upcoming 2027 elections.
