The Ogun State chapter of the PDP New Generation has congratulated the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate, Hon. Oladipupo Adebutu, on the recent court judgment in his favour, describing the development as a major boost for democracy and a fresh source of hope for the people of Ogun State.
The group stated this after an emergency meeting of its state executives and representatives from the 20 local government areas held in Abeokuta, where members reviewed the implications of the judgment and resolved to intensify their activities ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Speaking on behalf of the group, its spokesman, Mr. Baiye Victor from Ijebu East Local Government, congratulated Adebutu and expressed satisfaction with the court’s directive concerning his participation in the 2027 election.
Victor said the judgment had strengthened the confidence of members of the group and other PDP supporters, stressing that the development would further energise the party’s preparations for the coming electoral contest.
“We at PDP New Generation, as a pressure group within the party, congratulate our dear leader and the party’s candidate in the 2027 general elections, as well as the executive members of the party.
“With this judgment, we are confident that the PDP is only a few steps away from taking over the leadership of Ogun State. We strongly believe that Hon. Ladi Adebutu will emerge as the next Governor of Ogun State,” he said.
The spokesman further disclosed that the group would soon commence a statewide community engagement programme aimed at taking the message and policy agenda of Adebutu and the PDP directly to residents across the state.
According to him, the initiative will involve members of the group visiting communities and interacting directly with residents as part of efforts to explain what the PDP and Adebutu have in store for the people of Ogun State.
“As we normally do during election years, we are already putting together our campaign council and teams that will go one-on-one with communities to tell the people what PDP and Hon. Ladi Adebutu have for the good people of Ogun State.
“We will identify communities across the state and draw up a schedule for engaging with the people, listening to their concerns and explaining why they should support Hon. Ladi Adebutu,” Victor added.
The meeting was attended by the state executives of PDP New Generation and representatives from all 20 local government areas, who reportedly reaffirmed their commitment to supporting Adebutu and the party ahead of the 2027 elections.
The group said the court judgment had provided renewed encouragement for its members to intensify grassroots mobilisation, promising to take its engagement beyond political meetings and directly into communities across Ogun State.
It maintained that its forthcoming community engagement campaign would focus on strengthening the relationship between the PDP and the electorate while presenting Adebutu’s political agenda as an alternative for the state ahead of the 2027 governorship election.
