Adebutu who expressed optimism that  the defection would amount to the success of PDP in the coming governorship election assured the people of relief if he emerges.

The governorship candidate also disclosed that his ambition is to build the Ogun state that the people are yearning for.

He said “We want relief for Ogun state. We are after building the Ogun state of our dream. We will not allow a situation where you will vote  and starve, whatever you will eat will be provided starting from this coming weekend.

“Let us vote out those thieves. All the people in the Labour party, you will not regret joining PDP. Those who joined us from APM did not regret it. 

Speaking earlier, Hon. Tolulope noted that his decision to work for Adebutu in the coming election is because the LP  has no governorship candidate in the state.

He added that Ladi Abutu has been considered the most credible among other governorship candidates in the state.

His words “Labour Party has no governorship candidate. What we want in ogun is progress. Don’t consider Saturday, let’s consider the aftermath. I didn’t collect anything from APC and PDP. I’m doing this because I want to get the dividend of democracy for our people in Ogun state. We must not allow our state to continue like this.
