The National President of the All Progressives Congress Youth League, Comrade Olamide Lawal, said that the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Hon Oladipupo Adebutu, has nothing to offer the people of Ogun State.
Lawal, who is the Convener of Yayi Youth Vanguard, and an aide to Governor Dapo Abiodun, stated this while featuring on a political programme tagged “Politics Tonight” on Television Continental (TVC), on Thursday, that Adebutu’s ambition posed no threat to the ruling party.
The Special Assistant to Governor Abiodun on Youth Development explained that the political reality of the State is not in anyway in favour of Adebutu nor the PDP.
He said that the incumbent governor is from Ikenne Local Government and hails from Iperu Remo, the native home of the Adebutus.
Lawal stated that the APC zoned the governorship slot to Ogun West Senatorial District in the spirit of fairness, equity and justice, based on the fact that the zone had not produced the number one citizen of the State in its 50 years of existence.
“An Iperu man already occupying the position, it is not possible for another Iperu man to emerge as Governor immediately. This reality further weakens any speculation around Adebutu’s ambition,” he queried
Comrade Lawal added that the strength of APC’s leadership and record of delivery, particularly the track record of Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola whose representation has been defined by visible projects, legislative effectiveness, and direct impact on Ogun people.
He highlighted some of Senator Yayi’s large scale youth and women empowerment programmes which have facilitated the distribution of working tools, skills training, and financial grants to thousands of beneficiaries across Ogun West and beyond.
According to him, “Yayi’s consistent support for education through scholarships, provision of learning materials, and renovation of public schools, as well as his facilitation of critical infrastructure such as rural and urban roads, primary health centres, and access to clean water are visible for everyone in Ogun state to see”.
He pointed out that with leaders like Senator Yayi providing real results and with the current zoning reality in the state, Ogun APC remains solid, focused, and positioned to deliver more dividends of democracy.
Ogun politics, he added, has moved beyond propaganda. The people now judge leaders by performance, not promises.
He maintained that Senator Yayi, when elected would consolidate on the achievements of the present administration in Ogun State by going steps further to better the lots of Ogun residents.
