The Governorship candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 elections in Ogun State, Oladipupo Adebutu has insisted that the PDP remained the only party that understands the act of governance and the plight of the people.
Adebutu described the PDP as a responsive and people-oriented party that has administered the affairs of the better than the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Adebutu disclosed this on Friday during the revalidation of his PDP membership at Ward 4, Odo Alaro in the Odogbolu Local government area of the state.
He expressed disappointment at the level at which the present administration in the state was running the affairs of government, saying it had diminished the progress and development of the state.
Adebutu said, “We are a very responsive and people-oriented party, we understand the act of governance, we imbibe that culture and we have been able to succeed in it.
“I am sure with time reality will dawn on Nigerians, that we all have to come under that great umbrella to rescue our nation because this is the opposition party.”
Adebutu applauded the infrastructural development witnessed in PDP’s Oyo state led by Governor Seyi Makinde, saying the PDP in Oyo has performed better than APC in other states.
“Yesterday (Thursday) we were in Ogbomoso, the extent of the infrastructure development by the PDP government of Governor Seyi Makinde is an example to the whole nation.
“If all the federating states play their role actively, there will be less emphasis on the centre and that is the way it should be. PDP is PDP.
“I was in Oyo state, PDP governor commissioned a state road of about 77km. It was not the surfacing or existing road, he actually went and did urban and rural development at the same time.
“He created roads on virgin lands, but my own brother from my own town in Iperu, he now put band sets on the road, that he was commissioning a resurface and expanded road of a few kilometres.
“Now, compare that person, that person of APC, to what happened yesterday in Oyo state, that is the difference between APC and PDP.
“We understand governance, we are transparent and we are able to do well despite that the resource in Oyo state is relatively lean, comparatively small to what we have in Ogun state.
“I feel ashamed yesterday, I covered my eyes because Dapo is of the same place that I am and he shows his diminished acumen,” he said.
