  "summary": "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.\n\nAdeola had previously threatened to sue individuals who made similar claims about his ancestry. According to the 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.\n\nAdebutu also accused the APC of intolerance, alleging that the party had prevented the PDP from erecting billboards and had torn down and defaced PDP posters across the state. These allegations were made during a campaign rally in Odogbolu Local Government Area of Ogun State.",
