The Ogun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has advised the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the March 18, 2023 governorship election in the state, Ladi Adebutu to “face the subsisting criminal charges against him and stop patronising President Bola Tinubu.”
The APC was reacting to a statement credited to Adebutu, who recently returned to Nigeria after being abroad for over six months. He was quoted to have said at a New Year party that “President Bola Ahmed Tinubu belongs to us all. Nobody can lay claim to the Presidency, it belongs to all Nigerians. Stop harassing us, we are all Tinubu’s children.”
However, the Ogun State APC, in a statement on Monday by its Publicity Secretary, Tunde Oladunjoye, advised Adebutu to “stop evading court papers and answer the criminal charges against him rather than resort to vaingloriously patronising President Bola Tinubu.”
