Group to Adebutu: Your letter to Abiodun has sinister motives

A group, the Progressive Movement for Social Justice, has faulted the letter written by billionaire businessman, Kessington Adebutu, seeking reconciliation of his son, Ladi Adebutu, with Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun.

The group described the letter as a ruse, saying genuine reconciliation should have come before the Supreme Court judgement affirming Abiodun’s victory in the March 18, 2023, gubernatorial election in Ogun State.

Ladi Adebutu was the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the election.

The group, in a statement issued by its secretary, Ahmed Oladimeji, on Wednesday, January 24, 2024, urged Abiodun to disregard the letter, adding that it was deliberately released to the media before it got to the governor.

The Progressive Movement for Social Justice stated that the letter was an attempt to receive undue sympathy from the public.

It said: “Unconfirmed reports say that the chief vowed that even if it was last agenda, his son would be governor. Are the Ogun people to forget how the camp of the PDP candidate promoted division and disunity in the state just because the Supreme Court has now affirmed his freely given mandate?

“Without doubt, the letter is medicine after death, a deliberate tactic to seek a political solution to the ongoing criminal trial of the PDP candidate for alleged vote buying.

“By the way, why would the father be speaking for the son? Isn’t that in itself a confirmation of the widely held insinuation that Ladi is being remotely controlled by his father?

“The PDP candidate and his co-travellers deliberately interrupted the wheel of progress in Ogun State and prosperity will not be fair to them.”
