The governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in Ogun State for 2023, Ladi Adebutu, said his political style is that of peace and not violence.

Adebutu explained that it was for the sake of peace that he restrained his supporters from toeing the path of violence during the 2023 election.

Adebutu spoke at Ijeun-Akoni, in the Odeda Local Government Area of the state, during the 92nd remembrance anniversary of his great-grandfather, Pa Alimi Adebutu who died and was buried in the community in 1932.

Speaking with newsmen after the prayer session, on Thursday, Adebutu said,”the kind of politics that I play is peaceful. You will never see violence, you will never see desperation.

“One reason why 99 polling booths in the last elections were destroyed was because I refused that my people should repay violence with violence. I cannot be part of the process of spilling blood. I can’t. This is because I believe life continues after death. I am always being careful,” Adebutu said.
