INEC Excludes Ladi Adebutu, Deputy from Final Ogun Governorship Candidates List

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has reportedly excluded the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in Ogun State, Ladi Adebutu, and his running mate from the final list of candidates released ahead of the governorship election.

Adebutu and his deputy, both members of the PDP, were conspicuously absent from the list of governorship candidates published by the electoral commission for Ogun State.

The development has raised questions about the PDP’s participation in the forthcoming governorship election in the state, particularly regarding the status of its candidates.

Adebutu, who previously contested the Ogun State governorship election, is a prominent figure in the state’s political landscape. His reported exclusion, alongside that of his running mate, could have significant implications for the PDP’s preparations for the poll.
However, the specific reasons for their omission from the final list were not immediately available at the time of filing this report.

INEC is yet to be quoted in an official explanation clarifying the circumstances surrounding the reported exclusion. Further details are expected as developments unfold.
