A former house of representative member, Hon. Ladipupo Adebutu has collected the expression and nomination forms of the PDP to contest in Ogun state’s 2023 governorship poll.

He collected the forms on Thursday at the PDP national headquarters, Abuja, hours after the party began the sale of the nomination forms for the 2023 polls.

He told newsmen after collecting the forms, that he had suffered persecution, paid his due, and contributed immensely to the growth of PDP in state.

Adebutu said he remains in the PDP despite all the odds against his aspiration to contest the state’s governorship poll on the platform of the party.
