The All Progressives Congress (APC) chapter in Ogun State has chastised the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate in the recent governorship election, Ladi Adebutu, for going into self-exile over an alleged death threat to his life.
WITHIN NIGERIA previously reported that Adebutu had gone into hiding, claiming that his life was in danger as a result of the outcome of the Ogun governorship election.
He stated that he felt vulnerable after the SSS withdrew its personnel and the police reduced their own.
Adebutu claimed that he had credible intelligence that attempts were being made to kidnap him before the petition was decided.
The APC, however, described Adebutu as “a clown who is only being pursued by creditors, his ego, and failed ambition” in a statement issued on Monday by the state Publicity Secretary, Tunde Oladunjoye.
The ruling APC has asked Adebutu to stop his hallucinations and prepare to face the law for what he and his ragtag party did during the last election.
The statement reads:
We do not want to believe that someone who had dreamt of being the governor of a state like Ogun is oblivious of the fact that it is a normal practice to downsize security details after elections, except you are a President, Vice- President, Governor, and others.
Perhaps, he wants to continue to hold on to security operatives paid by taxpayers’ money as he did on the day of the last governorship election when he was moving from Ogun East senatorial district to the others, in breach of the Electoral laws and guidelines.
Our advice to Adebutu is that ‘promise is a debt until it is paid’, he should pay without further delay, his sundry creditors, agents, officials, and contractors, and stop muck-racking in a vainglorious attempt to cover his misdeeds.”
It would be recalled that recently, a letter of appointment by PDP/Adebutu to one of his lackeys went viral. The latest is his funny request for security cover equivalent to that of an elected state governor!
Adebutu should just stop all these hallucinations and be prepared to face the laws of the land on what he and his ramshackle party perpetrated during the last elections. He can only run, but cannot hide forever from the long arms of the law.
