Elder Joju Fadairo Denies Purported Adebutu's Endorsement, Faults Foreigner, Stranger Report
This followed
the widespread reaction which followed the viral report credited to former PDP
State Chairman, claiming that no foreigner or stranger will be allowed to
become Governor or hold sensitive political positions in Ogun state in 2027.
However,
Fadairo was reacting to the statement released on the social media by team of
Ladi Adebutu shortly after receiving him at his private residence in Abeokuta, described
the claims attributed to him as false and misleading.
The APC
Chieftain explained that the report remained a fabrication of the Adebutu’s
team in an attempt to malign his character and reputation.
The Asiwaju
of Ifoland and Fiwagboye of Egbaland, added that he will not at his age and
exposure make such statement capable of creating acrimony in the state ahead of
the polls.
‘People can
say anything. I never said such I have received series of telephone calls Any
reasonable person will not think like that. It was not true, it’s a lie,
tissues of lies. How on earth at my level would I say that. I won’t allow
anybody to soil my reputation. I am a decent person. The word stranger never
came from my mouth’, he said.
Elder Fadairo,
however, frowned at what he described as dirty politics, being exhibited by
followers of Adebutu to have conjured up fake statement and credited such to
him.
