Kolapo mentioned the PDP’s ward-to-ward tour throughout Ogun had proven that voters have been more and more rejecting monetary inducement, regardless of the financial hardship within the nation.

She claimed the get together had continued to obtain defectors from the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, of their 1000’s, regardless of what she described as propaganda over the Independent National Electoral Commission’s exclusion of names.

“Ladi Adebutu is the next governor of Ogun State. Let them continue spending,” she declared.

Kolapo described the Ogun contest as a take a look at case for 2027 nationally, whether or not incumbency and cash can override what she known as the folks’s will.

She mentioned Ogun State couldn’t be conquered with cash, urging voters to not “sell their heritage for peanuts that won’t last.”
