Twenty-two peoples democratic party leaders say akinlade’s attack on adebutu is stroke of pain for party

Twenty-two leaders of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from Ogun West Senatorial District of Ogun State have expressed disbelief on the statement credited to former Deputy Governorship Candidate of the party, Hon Adekunle Akinlade who described the 2023 Governorship Candidate of the party, Hon Ladi Adebutu as a misfit.

Penpushing reports that in reaction to Akinlade’s verbal and written condemnation of Adebutu  ,the party leaders from the zone said they received the attack with heavy stroke of pain, adding that the action of Akinlade was ungentlemanly cries of an overgrown infant.

The statement said it is on good note that Akinlade popularly called ‘Triple A’ was never Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) member, but brought in 2022, adding that because of the irrevocable trust in Adebutu’s leadership, all interests were collapsed in order to accommodate and integrate Akinlade and his followers to the party’s mainstream, especially in Ogun West.

‘With heavy stroke of pain, the needless vituperations of Hon Abdulkabir Akinlade, the deputy governorship candidate of our great party, the PDP in the last circle of general election in Ogun state, caught the attention of the Ogun West PDP Leaders Forum. As such, PDP leaders in Ogun West, where Triple A hails from, have a duty to address such ungentlemanly cries of an overgrown infant as displayed by Triple A’.

‘Foremost, it is on good record that it was the governorship candidate of our party Hon Dr Oladipupo Olatunde Adebutu that singlehandedly brought in Akinlade, even when he was NEVER a member of our PDP as recent as 2022 and because of our irrevocable trust in his leadership, all interests were collapsed in order to accommodate and integrate him and his followers to the party’s mainstream, especially in Ogun West.

Penpushing further reports that the chieftains of the party declared that Akinlade cannot claim to have 50 followers in each of the 5 local government areas of Ogun West who contributed financially to the truncated success of the party even as the Deputy Governorship candidate.

‘Just as we do not know or see any of Akinlades’ financial contribution to Ogun West before, during and after the elections other than his empty grandstanding and relying on the financial fortune of the Adebutu in prosecuting the last election’, the statement reads.

‘Beyond words, the leadership of our party in Ogun West is not unaware of Triple A’s legendary penchant for treachery and backstabbing. We know what he did to his elder brother from his homestead, Otunba Akeem Adigun, the popular Ogun West successful business mogul who gave his all in bringing the pathetic ingrate to political limelight’.

Penpushing also reports that the statement endorsed by the twenty-two party members in the zone alleged that Akinlade had once betrayed his former boss and former governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, hence their relationship hit the rock.

‘Just as we were hoping that Akinlade has resumed work on his needed self-rehabilitation when he joined the Ladi Adebutu political family in 2022, the ugly monster dwelling in the mind, spirit and soul of an unrepentant traitor reared its ugly head just a few days in January 2024 after the final judicial pronouncement on the Ogun State Guber election.

‘For the party leaders in Ogun West, maybe we should begin to thank God for not making Triple A the Deputy Governor in 2023, who knows what would have happened to Ladi Adebutu’s life by now. It is really sad that one of us, an Ogun West person cannot grow beyond open hatred, bile, and unguided envy for someone, who, out of trust, sense of friendship and obvious pity, extended his hands to him for good. Indeed, every disappointment is a blessing in disguise!’, the statement added

Penpushing reports that the party leaders emphasized that Adebutu remain a benefactor for Akinlade, stressing that for him to have made a damaging remark on him (Adebutu) was an unimaginable degree of serial betrayal, ingratitude and ineptitude.

‘However, we want to register it in the mind of the general public that the entire Ogun West political space should not be viewed from the treacherous prism of a Triple A. His antics and questionable character traits and elements do not define us in any way. He is just a pathetic exception to our collective values, standards, and shared ethos in Yewa and Awori land’.

‘With his cries as contained in his weekend litany of bile, it is crystal clear that Akinlade has exhausted, so early in his dubious double-faced life, all his political stamina. He has developed and nurtured a terrible reputation for his inability to be trustworthy right from his hometown, Agosasa’.

‘He has defined what it means to be undependable to Sen. Amosun. He just displayed the height of traitorship to the Adebutus. Greed, inordinate ambition, devilish lust, and dishonesty have come together to take an ill-mannered monster round the globe. Therefore, whoever cultivates any political understanding or indulges in any form of political transaction or engagement with him clearly does so at his or her own peril.

‘We also want to make it abundantly clear to the leader of our Party, the PDP, Hon.Dr Oladipupo Olatunde Adebutu and of course, our political allies in Ogun East and Ogun Central Senatorial Districts that the known betraying Judas from Ogun West cannot and will not diminish the quality of our hard-earned political relationship and mutually beneficial friendship that we all have enjoyed ever before he joined us. We are eternally committed to everything that binds us together. Ogun West PDP Leaders Forum remains unwavering in its belief in the aspiration of Ladi Adebutu and the well-being of our great party’.

‘We therefore choose to encourage our loyal members, priceless supporters and leaders across the state, and Indeed, our darling leader to remain focused as Adekunle Akinlade and his childishness are insignificant irritations that cannot stand the test of time’.
