The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ogun State dismisses allegations challenging its 2027 governorship candidate, Hon. Oladipupo Adebutu, saying claims that his name was omitted from the party’s official membership register are baseless. The party says the allegations are politically motivated.
The dispute follows claims attributed to the Ogun Democratic Accountability Forum (ODAF) that Adebutu’s name does not appear on PDP’s membership register. In response, PDP spokespersons argue the issue is a fabrication and point to broader political manoeuvring.
While both outlets report the PDP’s rejection of the eligibility challenge, Daily Post Nigeria adds that the PDP accuses the APC of trying to distract from an indigeneship controversy involving Yayi. Vanguard, by contrast, focuses more narrowly on PDP’s dismissal of the register allegation and its claim of political motivation. Both accounts frame the development as part of the lead-up to the 2027 governorship election.
