Ladi Adebutu, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate for governor in Ogun State, has stated that if elected in 2023, he will serve a single four-year term.
Adebutu said that he will not run for a second term, saying that four years would be sufficient for him to have a big influence and turn around the State.
The lawmaker from Iperu made this statement while appearing on the Yoruba radio show Oju Abe on Splash 106.5FM in Abeokuta, the capital of Ogun State.
Adebutu claims that he is running for governor in order to fulfill the eight-year requirement for the Ogun East senatorial constituency.
Adebutu responded in the affirmative when asked if he would only serve as governor of Ogun for four years, saying: “Four years is enough to make a change. It is enough to do whatever you have in mind. It is enough. Once you create a template to do well, four years is okay. I am telling you, four years is enough.”
The former congressman pledged, as part of his platform, to give local governments more authority, generate their own power, build a lot of roads, and generally improve the state for everyone.
He urged the people of Ogun to uphold the law as the country prepares for the election season in 2023.
When the campaign officially begins, he said he would be available for a governorship discussion.
