Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ogun State in the last election, Ladi Adebutu, has debunked claims that his father, Kensington Adebutu, gave former Governor Gbenga Daniel millions of naira to support him in 2023.<\/p>\n

DAILY POST reports that the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ogun State recently accused Daniel of betraying the party by collecting millions of naira from the Adebutu patriarch to work for Ladi.<\/p>\n

But, Adebutu said neither his father nor any member of Adebutu family gave a dime to the Ogun East Senator.<\/p>\n

In a statement he personally issued on Friday, Adebutu \u201cthanked the people of the State for voting massively for his candidacy.\u201d<\/p>\n

The PDP candidate maintained that Daniel had been known to be wealthy right before he joined politics.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cFor the avoidance of doubt, the Adebutu family did not give any funds to the said former governor, who we believe is a very rich man in his own right.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a fact, not fiction, that before he ventured into politics, he was reputed to be one of the richest in his generation. To think a dime was given to such a dignified personality, could only exist in the warped imagination of the perpetrators of the ugly rumour.\u201d<\/p>\n

Adebutu recalled that Daniel, for the sake of Remo-Land, favoured the APC and its candidates over him in 2019, by rallying his entire political forces behind them \u201cwhen it was obvious Adekunle Akinlade of the APM would defeat the APC.<\/p>\n

\u201cDitto my dad, Sir Kesington Adebukunola Adebutu CFR- Odole Oodua of the Source, who willingly gave hundreds of millions of naira in 2019 to both our political structures, because he regards both of us as his sons from the same Iperu Town,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the former lawmaker disclosed that his father continued Abiodun\u2019s government with \u201chuge donation\u201d during the COVID-19 pandemic and several other projects in the State.<\/p>\n
