PDP Lambasts APC For Attacking Elder Joju Fadairo Over Adebutu's Endorsement

The Ogun State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has lambasted the All Progressives Congress (APC) over the attacks on the party's chieftain, Chief Joju Fadairo, over his alleged endorsement of its Governorship Candidate, Hon. Ladi Adebutu.

According to the main opposition par ty, the ruling party is making all efforts to forcefully make the elder statesman retract and debunk his support for the party and it's candidate.

Spokesman of Adebutu, Afolabi Orekoya, in a statement, described the APC attempt as shameful.

Orekoya explained that Fadairo maintained his ground and did not succumb to the pressure despite several pressures mounted on the reputable old man politician aimed at forcing him to denounce his support for Adebutu.

"We are aware of the panic situation of the Ogun State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress which was displayed by the APC Apex body in Ifo Local Government today, Tuesday, 9th June, 2026 when they storm his house

"While responding to the repeated questions on clarifying his statements of support for Hon. Oladipupo Adebutu and if he still stands by his words, baba kept answering by maintaining his position till he got uncomfortable and said " take it the way you have seen it" after which they dispersed.

"The APC should note that while they keep chasing small fries in PDP, we are winning the big fishes from their party (APC), they should be prepared to run more races and pay unscheduled visits as this is just the first Chieftain they know of, many are still on the way.

"The drowning APC party can not continue to deceive the good people of the state, we have people of conscience that are tired of their party of retrogression particularly with the choice of a stranger as its candidate for the 2027 general elections.

"We are promising them of more losses of the few credible people of progress in their party as gains to our course of delivering the good people of Ogun State from their shackles.

Orekoya, however, asked the Apex body of APC to leave Baba Fadairo alone and face the decadence they brought on their party.
