The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate Oladipupo Adebutu says his political mission in Ogun State will focus on public welfare and citizens’ right to choose their leaders, following a Federal High Court ruling on his candidacy.
Adebutu made this known on Friday, 13 November 2026 after Justice Peter Lifu ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to restore his name to the candidates’ list within 24 hours. NewDailyPrime reported the INEC order yesterday, 13 November 2026.
Adebutu said securing his name on the list was not the full extent of his responsibility, as he also had to address the needs of Ogun residents.
Candidate outlines campaign priorities
Adebutu identified opportunity, accountability and inclusive development as areas his political agenda would address.
He said his mission was bigger than an individual or a political contest, describing public welfare and the progress of Ogun State as its main concerns.
The candidate also restated his OGUN FOR OGUN message, which he said represented leadership that puts the interests of residents first and works to improve their lives.
He called on supporters to stay calm and conduct themselves with respect for the law and democratic values.
Court ruling settles dispute over his name
The court order followed the omission of Adebutu’s name from INEC’s published list of candidates for the 2027 Ogun governorship election.
Adebutu had maintained that his PDP membership, registration and the process that produced him as the party’s candidate were valid. He said the party pursued the matter through legal channels.
After the ruling, he thanked PDP National Leader Nyesom Wike, National Chairman Abdulrahman Mohammed and the Ogun State party leadership for their support.
