  "account": "Indigenes of Ogun State have vowed to protect their heritage and ensure the 'Ogun for Ogun' mandate is upheld in the 2027 governorship election. This pledge was made during the campaign tour of PDP governorship candidate, Oladipupo Adebutu, and his running mate, Yemi Sowunmi-Kolapo, who visited ward after ward in the state. Both candidates have been campaigning on a seven-point agenda called 'ITURA DE,' which aims to improve roads, support farming, and bring homegrown leadership.\n\nThe indigenes expressed their support for the candidates, particularly for their pledge to use local knowledge and understanding of the region's struggles. They also criticized the idea of outsiders ruling over Ogun State, stating that it would be a \"slap on our dear state.\" They are committed to voting for their own people to preserve their political legacy and honour the memory of their heroes.\n\nAdebutu and Kolapo received a warm reception from the indigenes, who were excited to meet them and discuss their concerns. The candidates also engaged in town hall meetings with the people, discussing the challenges faced by the communities and promising to address issues such as road maintenance and agricultural development. Both candidates assured that their administration would be inclusive and grassroots-driven, prioritizing women, children, education, and primary healthcare.",
