The governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Ogun state, Ladi Adebutu and his antagonist, Segun Showunmi, have laid to rest the enmity between them and embraced peace.
Showunmi, who was also one of the party’s governorship aspirants had, prior to the conduct of the primaries, urged the court to remove the present executives of the party, alleging that they had shown preference to Adebutu after they were caught on tape saying that they were the one who bought the governorship nomination form for the former lawmaker.
Even after Adebutu won the party’s primary election, Showunmi insisted that the Supreme Court would give judgment in his favour. He had assured his supporters of his eventual victory.
Both men often rained insults and abuses on each other. However, this seems to be in the past now as Adebutu has extended a hand of fellowship to his former rival. He was the first to call on Showunmi to sheathe his sword while urging him to forget the past and support his quest to wrestle the governorship seat from the incumbent, Governor Dapo Abiodun in the coming election.
He also paid a visit to Showunmi’s residence in Ogun state. Showunmi welcomed him whole heartedly at his residence and urged his supporters to bury the hatchet and work for the success of Adebutu at the March 18 Governorship election.
