Egba Heritage Defense Council has again said that the Governorship Candidate of People’s Democratic Party, PDP in the last governorship election in Ogun State, Hon Ladi Adebutu has no root with Egbaland.
The Council said Adebutu’s reaction to the warning that he should desist from misleading people about his birthplace and associated claims were unreliable.
Describing the former federal lawmaker’s claim as a ‘fabricated story,’ the Coordinator of Egba Heritage Defense Council, Dr Abayomi Arabambi, said Adebutu should stop playing ‘an old system of politics’ and stick to his heritage.
Arabambi who addressed a Press Conference in Abeokuta, Ogun State capital to counter Adebutu declared that the Egba has an history different from other tribes in Yorubaland.
“I read with dismay the empty campaigns of calumny and beer parlour press statement that was credited to one Afolabi Orekoya wherein he laboured in vain to justify one Mr Ladi Adebutu attempts to situate through a false proclamation of himself as a bonafide Son of Egbaland so as to hoodwink the Good People of Egbaland.
“The ranting would have been ignored but for the reason, to educate Ladi Adebutu through his spokespersons, Tunde Orekoya and Afolabi Orekoya
The duo claimed to know Egbaland more than my humble self, I Comrade Abayomi Arabambi ordinarily would not have joined issues with the Adebutu, but for the benefits of the few in the public who may innocently be mis- informed by his lies
“I will thus set the records straight so that those original, responsible and respected sons of Egbaland and Ogun state in the likes of Distinguish Sen Solomon Olamilekan Adeola (YAYI) and His Excellency Ambassador Sarafa Tunji Isola, paternal and maternal lineage will not be polluted by a serial PDP Governorship Candidate
“Sen Solomon Olamilekan Adeola father name is Ayinde Adeola Ogunleye of Ago Isaga compound in Pahayi area of Ilaro, while his mother Madam Abeeni Olasunbo Ogunleye (nee Akinola) is a bonafide Daughter of Egbaland from Odutolu family house in Kemta Abeokuta. Distinguish Sen Solomon Olamilekan Adeola is also the
(1) Aremo of Yewa Land
(2) Aare-Gbobaniyi of Ilaro,
(3) Araba of Isaga-Orile
“Ambassador Sarafa Tunji Isola whom some of Lado Political family also made scratching remarks about to me about was born into the family of Chief Ibrahim Isola Tairu and Hajiya Amudalat Ajiun Isola of Abeokuta.
“Ambassador Sarafa Tunji Isola was the immediate Nigeria Ambassador to UK and the Chairman of the Accreditation Committee of the Board of Governors of the Common wealth.
“Ambassador Sarafa Tunji Isola is a devoted Muslim who is the:
(1) Saraki Adinni of Ipokia,
(2) Apesin of Isiwo,
(3) Agba -Akin Of Imala
(4) Otun Of Erunwon,
(5) Olu -Omo Of Gbagura,
(6) Otitifarati Of Owu Kingdom,
(7) Tayese Of Oke-Ona Egba,
(8). Tayese of Egbaland
(9) Baba Adinni Of Yoruba Land, Edo and Delta States
“It’s therefore an incontrovertible fact that the Olu of Ilaro and Paramount Ruler of YEWA LAND attested to the family lineage of Sen Solomon Olamilekan Adeola YAYI with the AREMO OF YEWA LAND CHIEFTANCY
“It’s also a statement of fact that Ambassador Sarafa Tunji Isola was welcome back to Ogun state via a reception organized for him by virtually all Egba Sons and daughter having in attendance the Alake and Paramount Ruler of Egbaland
“It’s therefore very obvious in the face of your false allusions about your purported Egbaland indigineship, that you are no where near the credentials of this two illustrious Sons of Egbaland and Ogun state
“All of these your assertions proved to be false.Those holding you to ransom and giving you the blank hope of getting the governorship slot through Egbaland are wicked and ungodly and they are committing a grave sin against God and the Good people of Ogun state . It is self-evident that for you that the bell is tolling.
“It is unfortunate that those around you have held you captive and are indulging you in an attempt to rule Ogun state at all cost.
“Yet worse of all are the nauseating lies that your Internet Dog keeps churning out, especially on the Egba Chieftancy titled bestowed on you by our Father , the Alake and Paramount Ruler of Egbaland which you now erroneously ascribed to your Egbaland certification
“The needless naked dance in the market square has shown that truly a guilty conscience needs no accuser. Otherwise, how does one situate the thoughtless blackmail, half-truths and outright lies that you churned out of desperation to Governed Ogun state when it’s obvious to you that the ball is over the bar for a goal kick and not a spot kick
“Perhaps if Mr Ladi Adebutu was a student of history that is not suffering from acute dementia and depression from the 2023 Governorship Election where he was thoroughly demystify by His Excellency Prince Dapo Abiodun CON) resounding victory that has perpetually dwarf and confined the Ambition of the Iperu born political misfits to a situation of a Man looking for the Horn of a Horse
Adebutu ought to have known that as far as 2027 Gubernatorial Election is concerned, the Ogun East has been red carded with respect to the first eight (8) meritorious years of my Leader and Former Governor of Ogun State Sen Gbenga Daniel and the current performing Governor Prince Dapo Abiodun (CON) tenures which will come to a glorious end by May 29th 2027 after another 8 unprecedented and meritorious years
I stated without any fear of contradiction that Ladi Adebutu cannot smell, let alone take over the Governance of Ogun State from Egbaland as such a nonsensical lies can only be told to the blind so as to continue to deceive and milk them. I am too smart for such frivolities.
Even if you go to Odeda one million times, you cannot become Governor Ogun State. Not now; not ever!.as indigene of Egbaland as you will only continue to waste your father’s resources like a prodigal son Go and get prepared for 2051 Governorship Election
“You alleged that I was ashamed to bear my father Name , I had wanted to ignored your statement but since you are more of a man suffering from bipolar disorder which is a mental health condition that causes extreme mood swings that include emotional highs (mania or hypomania) and lows (depression) then I must respond to set the record straight
“You would have known that my father Late Hon Joseph ABAYOMI ONIGBINDE was a two time member of ogun state house of assembly between 1979 to 1983 when you are a nobody. How could you have known which family I came from when you were then literally living at Ojuelegba as a street urchin then with no future in your sight until ( Late Senator Prince Buruji Kashamu whom you celebrated his death as if you had already won the Governorship Election came to your rescue.
