The police invitation, according to sources, is connected to allegations of vote-buying and financial misappropriation during the 2023 governorship elections. Adebutu has been at the center of these controversies since the conclusion of the elections, with opponents accusing him of attempting to undermine the electoral process.

During his time with the DSS, Adebutu faced extensive questioning over claims that funds were distributed to sway voters in his favor during the polls. Now, the police are said to be investigating additional allegations that could lead to more legal challenges for the embattled politician.

The Ogun State PDP has described the ongoing investigations as a targeted political witch-hunt, aimed at silencing Adebutu and weakening the party’s influence in the state. A party spokesperson stated, “This is a deliberate attempt to discredit our candidate and distract from the real issues plaguing Ogun State. We will stand by him through this ordeal.”

Adebutu, who remains a key figure in Ogun State politics, has yet to make an official statement on the police invitation. However, close associates suggest that he intends to cooperate fully with the authorities while maintaining his innocence.

This development has sparked significant debate among political observers and analysts, many of whom see it as a test of Nigeria’s commitment to fair and transparent justice. As the investigations unfold, the political future of Ladi Adebutu hangs in the balance, with many wondering how these allegations will impact his career and the PDP’s prospects in Ogun State.

The coming days will reveal whether Adebutu can clear his name or if these legal challenges will further complicate his standing as a prominent politician in Ogun State.
