All traditional rulers in the Yewa area of Ogun State have rejected the governorship aspiration of Ladi Adebutu, maintaining that no amount of monetary inducement would sway them to queue behind him.
This position was expressed collectively by all the traditional rulers from Yewa at a meeting chaired by the Olu of Ilaro, Oba Kehinde Olugbenle, and held with the PDP governorship candidate in Ilaro today.
An eyewitness account from the meeting said all the traditional rulers from Yewa stormed out, insisting there was no compromise on the choice of candidate for the 2027 governorship election in Ogun State.
According to one of the traditional rulers who pleaded anonymity, stakeholders in Yewa remain united in their choice of Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola, popularly known as Yayi, as the preferred candidate for the office of governor come 2027.
They stated that the time has come for Ogun West to be liberated and take its place in the political equation of Ogun State.
“We have been in the political dungeon for several decades in Ogun State. We are the only Senatorial district that has not produced a governor. This is our best chance, and we are not ready to back down on the opportunity to liberate Ogun West,” they said.
