Kessington Adebutu Disowns Son's Endorsement Of Amosun's APM Guber Candidate ..Says He's On His Own




 

Recent move by factional governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in Ogun State, and lawmaker representing the Remo Federal Constituency, Hon. Ladi Adebutu adopting opposition Allied Peoples Movement, APM candidate Abdulkabir Akinlade has drawn the wrath of his (Ladi) biological father who pronounced that he is on his own.
In his reaction to the news which he said he received with a shock, Sir Kessington stated that he cannot think of any reason whatsoever why his son took such step without informing him.
"I wasn't privy to his meeting with Governor Amosun neither did he inform me. I heard the news like any other individual and wondered what could have gotten over him.
According to Sir Adebutu, who is currently out of the country for his medical check up, he has been inundated with several calls by well meaning Nigerians asking if he knows about the unpopular decision of his son to adopt the candidate of the APM. He maintained that he is not aware and the decision also did not have his blessings and endorsement.
Hon. Ladi Adebutu has been engaged in legal battle with Senator Buruji Kashamu for over two years on who becomes the party's standard bearer which he has lost serially before his decision to adopt incumbent governor Amosun's candidate.
Ladi Adebutu’s action to support Governor Amosun’s candidate in APM, it was gathered has become the most unpopular political decision as several stakeholders in Ogun State have condemned it.
