PDP governorship candidate Oladipupo Adebutu has criticised what he described as the neglect of Ogun communities along the Lagos border. He promised that, if elected, he would establish a commission to address the concerns of those communities, according to Punch Nigeria.

People’s Democratic Party governorship candidate Oladipupo Adebutu has criticised the treatment of communities in Ogun State that border Lagos. Punch Nigeria reported that Adebutu lamented what he described as the neglect of the border communities. He promised to establish a commission if he is elected, although the supplied report does not specify the proposed body’s name, powers, membership or timetable.

The report also does not set out which communities Adebutu was referring to, the particular problems they face or how the proposed commission would respond to them. Adebutu’s remarks were made in the context of the 2027 governorship contest. The available material identifies him as the PDP candidate but provides no response from the Ogun State government, other political parties or residents of the affected communities.

Punch Nigeria’s supplied summary does not include further details of the candidate’s programme or explain whether the proposed commission would require legislative approval.
