People's Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate Ladi Adebutu expressed concern on Sunday over his exclusion from the final list of candidates released by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Saturday. All other PDP candidates for the House of Assembly, House of Representatives, and senatorial positions were listed, but Adebutu and his running mate, Yemi Sowunmi-Kolapo, were conspicuously absent.
Adebutu stated in a statement that the omission raised "serious questions" and insisted that due process be respected. He affirmed his status as a registered PDP member and highlighted that the party's primary, which produced him as the candidate, was conducted with INEC officials in attendance. The PDP leader emphasized that such attempts to hinder their campaign are not new, citing instances of restrictions on billboards, attacks at campaign sites, and harassment of party members.
He called on the party's supporters and the people of Ogun State to remain calm and steadfast, stating that necessary steps are being taken to address the issue.
