The 2023 governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in Ogun State, Oladipupo Adebutu, has formally declared his intention to contest the state’s top seat again in the 2027 general elections.
Adebutu conveyed his decision in a letter dated April 30, 2026, addressed to the Ogun State leadership of the PDP and routed through the party Chairman in Odogbolu Local Government.
The letter, made available to PLATFORM TIMES on Friday by his media aide, Afolabi Orekoya, stated that the former candidate had informed party structures at both state and local levels of his renewed ambition.
Adebutu, in the correspondence, thanked party leaders and members for their support and loyalty, urging them to close ranks ahead of the next election cycle.
He reaffirmed his commitment to the PDP, describing himself as a loyal and law-abiding member who remained dedicated to strengthening the party’s position in Ogun State.
The PDP chief said his decision to reapply was driven by a desire to build on his previous experience and offer what he described as purposeful and people-oriented leadership.
He identified continuity, inclusive governance and policies aimed at improving the well-being of residents as central elements of his agenda.
Adebutu also appealed to stakeholders within the party to prioritize unity, warning that internal divisions could undermine the PDP’s chances in the 2027 polls.
He, however, pledged to work with all factions within the party, stressing that collective effort would be key to ensuring victory in the elections.
