In reporting ahead of the 2027 Ogun State governorship election, the PDP deputy governorship running mate, Yemi Sowunmi-Kolapo, reacts to the omission of her principal, Ladi Adebutu, from an INEC-published list. She says she expects INEC to address the issue and correct any mistake.
Across outlets, Sowunmi-Kolapo characterizes the omission as unintentional or temporary. She also frames the omission as evidence that Adebutu is likely to win the election. One report quotes her directly saying INEC will fix the omission, while another emphasizes her insistence that Adebutu’s victory is certain despite the listed exclusion. A separate outlet links her statements to her public remarks following religious observance.
The articles do not provide new details on why INEC omitted Adebutu or specify which list or stage of the electoral process it relates to, focusing instead on Sowunmi-Kolapo’s responses and her forecast of the election outcome.
