The Ogun State People’s Democratic Party (PDP) candidate in the March 18, 2023 governorship election, Ladi Adebutu, has said only the PDP understands the act of governance and leadership.
Adebutu stated this on Friday during the revalidation of his PDP membership at Ward 4, Odo Alaro in Odogbolu Local Government Area of the state.
He noted that, unlike the APC, the PDP understands the plight of its people and is transparent.
“We are a very responsive and people-oriented party. We understand the act of governance matters, we imbibe that culture, and we have been able to succeed on it.”
The PDP chieftain accused the Ogun State governor, Dapo Abiodun, of “throwing parties” for the commissioning of a few kilometers of road compared to his Oyo counterpart, Seyi Makinde, who just inaugurated 77 km of road.
“Yesterday, we were in Ogbomoso. The extent of the infrastructure development by the PDP government of Gov. Seyi Makinde is an example to the whole nation.
“If all the federating states play their role actively, there will be less emphasis on the center, and that is the way it should be. PDP is PDP.
“I was in Oyo State, and the PDP governor commissioned a state’s road of about 77 km. It was not the surfacing of an existing road; he actually went and did urban and rural development at the same time.
“He constructed roads on virgin lands, but my own brother from my own town in Iperu now puts band sets on the road, claiming he is commissioning a resurfaced and expanded road of a few kilometers.
“Now, compare that person of the APC to what happened yesterday in Oyo State. That is the difference between the APC and the PDP.
“We understand governance, we are transparent, and we are able to do well despite the fact that the resources in Oyo State are relatively, comparatively small to what we have in Ogun State.
“I felt ashamed yesterday; I covered my eyes because Dapo is from the same place as I am, and he shows his diminished acumen,” he said.
Adebutu, however, disclosed that the PDP in Ogun State had registered over 100,000 new members.
He added, “I have seized the opportunity to transfer my membership from Ward 5 Ikenne Local Government to Odo-Alaro Ward 4 in Odogbolu Local Government.
“I am sure with time, reality will dawn on Nigerians that we all have to come under that great umbrella to rescue our nation because this is the opposition party,” he said.
